Lyrics

Ah you can talk about the pit, barbecue

The band was jumpin,' the people too

Ah mess around, they doin' the Mess Around

They doin' the mess around

Everybody doin' the mess around

Ah, everybody was juiced, you can, bet your soul

They did the boogie-woogie, with a sturdy roll

They mess around, they doin' the mess around

They doin' the mess around

Everybody doin' the mess around

Now ah, when I say stop don't you move a peg

When I say go just ah, 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 there boy

Now you got it boy

Yeah ah, mess around, go on mess around

Mess around, boy

Now this band's goin' to play from 9 to 1

Everybody here's gonna have some fun

Doin' the mess around

Ah, doin' the mess around

They doin' the mess around

Everybody 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

Ah, mess around

Everybody do the mess around
