'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
Now do The Shimmy with Timmy
Hucklebuck with Dee
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
And you can Cha-Cha with Charlie
Stroll with Stagger Lee
But if you're gonna mess around
Mess Around with me
Now you can Pony with Tony
Come on now
Boogedy-boogedy-boogedy-boogedy-shoop
Boogedy-boogedy-boogedy-boogedy-shoop
Boogedy-boogedy-boogedy-boogedy-shoop
Ah-ah
Hey, do The Twist with Mr. Lee
One more time
Round and around and around
Round and around and around and around
Round and around and around and around
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 on top of me
But if you're gonna mess around
Hear me? Mess Around with me
Oh, Birdland with Furdie

Watusi with Susie
Twist with my little sis
Ah, but if you're gonna mess around, baby
