Ahhh you can talk about the pit
Barbeque
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 say go
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
(Piano Solo)
Ah you got it boy
(Saxophone Solo)
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
