Lyrics:
Rankin' come forward.
Full Stop, say Ranking Full Stop.
Full Stop, say Ranking Full Stop.
My name is Ranking Full Stop
So all you really got to do is just-a move you little feet
And just-a rock-a to the beat, as I would say, yeah, alright
And when you hear the signal you must stop, I said rock
I said you rock it and you shock it and you, ooh, say so, oh lord.

Now hold on down there. Take it easy, yeah, alright
Said are you ready, said are you ready to stop,
Said are you ready, said are you ready to stop,
I said stop.

Ready, said are you ready to go,
Said are you ready, said are you ready to go.
Full Stop, me, stop, Full Stop,
Ranking Full Stop,
Now that's the name I would really, really say,
Full Stop. Ranking Full Stop.
Said Ranking Full Stop. Brr-yeah.

You move your little feet, you rock-a to the beat,
You hear this song and you gotta come around,
I see you upon the street, you look so sweet,
I see you with your dancin' feet, yeah.
Said are you ready, said are you ready to stop,
Said are you ready, said are you ready to stop,
I said stop.

Ready, said are you ready to go,
Said are you ready, said are you ready to go.
Full Stop, me, stop, Full Stop
Say Ranking Full Stop.
As I would tell ya 'bout this song, so c'mon.
Full Stop. Ranking Full Stop. Say Ranking Full Stop.
Brr-yeah.

Your dancing took it over y'know
I say you come from Dover y'know
And I would really, really tell ya and show you all
To do the Ranking Full Stop.

I said you move to your left and then you move to you right,
Tell you 'bout this song and you got to unite.
You move to your left and then you move to your right
And then you do it 'till midnight y'know
All singing are you ready, said are you ready to stop,
Said are you ready, said are you ready to stop,
I said stop.

I'm dead.
