Bout this dance called the Mess Around..
Baby, dig what I'm puttin' down.
You can Pony with Tony, Twist with Mr. Lee,
but if you're gonna Mess Around, Mess Around with me.
Do the Shimmy with Jimmy, Hucklebuck with Dee,
but if you're gonna Mess Around, oh, baby, Mess Around with me.
All the other dances you are free,
but you better save, the last dance for me.
You can Cha Cha with Charlie, Stroll with Stagger Lee,
but if you're gonna Mess Around, Mess Around with me.
You can Pony with Tony..boogety, boogety, boogety shoot.
(INTERLUDE:SAX:)
Hey, do the Twist with Mr. Lee..round and around and around.
Round and around and around and around..
Round and around and around and around..hey!
but if you're gonna Mess Around, you better,
Mess Around with me.
All the other dances you are free,
but you better save, the last dance for me.
Hully Gully with Harry, Slop for Pop, or flee..
but if you're gonna Mess Around, hear me? Mess Around with me.
Do the Birdland with Birdie, do the Birdy with Ernie..
Watusi with Susie, Twist with my little Sis..(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
