Ah you can talk about the pit barbecue
The band was jumping
The people too

Ahhh mess around

They doin' the mess around

They doin' the mess around

Everybody's doin' the mess around

Ahhh everybody was juiced
You can bet your soul

They did the boogie boogie
With a steady roll
They mess around

They doin' the mess around

They doin' the mess around

Everybody's doin' the mess around

Now uh, when I say stop
Don't you move a peg

When I gosay
Just uh, shake your leg
And do the mess around

I declare do the mess around

Yeah do the mess around

Everybody's doin' the mess around

Now let me have it here boy


Ah you got it boy


Mess around boy

Now this band is gonna play from
9 to 1
Everybody here is gonna
Have some fun
Doin' the mess around

Ahhh doin' the mess around

They doin' the mess around

Everybody's doin' the mess around

Now you see that girl
With that diamond ring

She knows how to
Shake that thing

Mess around

I declare she can mess around

Ahhh mess around

Everybody do the mess around
