Do the Standing Still by The Dismemberment Plan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh whoa-oh, well the Pony was funky
The Watusi was kinda smooth
Oh whoa-oh, well the problem with all
Those little dance steps was you had to move
Oh whoa-oh, well they found a brand-new step
And it doesn't take anything to get this groove, uh-huh!
[Chorus]
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still, hey!
[Verse 2]
Oh whoa-oh, well it's a sensation
Across the entire nation
Oh whoa-oh, a hundred million kids
All dancing in suspended animation
Oh whoa-oh, and the feeling's all right
We'll be standing still until the morning light, yeah!
[Chorus]
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still, hey!
[Bridge]
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed
Oh, my aching head
Uh-huh!
[Verse 3]
In Fargo, six or seven kids
Watched the Plan in a strip-mall
Well, I thought they were bored out of their skulls
But it turns out they were having a ball, uh-huh
Oh whoa-oh, well I finally knew
They were doing a brand new step that everybody isn't moving to
[Chorus]
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still, yeah!
Oh whoa-oh, well the Pony was funky
The Watusi was kinda smooth
Oh whoa-oh, well the problem with all
Those little dance steps was you had to move
Oh whoa-oh, well they found a brand-new step
And it doesn't take anything to get this groove, uh-huh!
[Chorus]
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still, hey!
[Verse 2]
Oh whoa-oh, well it's a sensation
Across the entire nation
Oh whoa-oh, a hundred million kids
All dancing in suspended animation
Oh whoa-oh, and the feeling's all right
We'll be standing still until the morning light, yeah!
[Chorus]
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still
And they're doing the standing still, hey!
[Bridge]
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed
Oh, my aching head
Uh-huh!
