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 (?) 
( [bad word]  [bad word] text19364.html )
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

Everybody's doin' the mess around

Everybody here's gonna have some fun 
Doin' the mess around 
Ah, doin' the mess around

She knows how to, shake that thing
