'Bout this dance called the Mess Around
Baby, dig what I'm puttin' down
You can onie with Tony
Twist with Mr. Lee
But if you're gonna mess around
Mess around with me
Or 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
Or you can cha-cha with Charlie
Stroll with Stagger Lee
But if you're gonna mess around
Mess around with me
Or you can pony with Tony, come on, now
Hey, do the twist with Mr. Lee, one more time
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 copper, please
But if you're gonna mess around
You hear me? Mess around with me
Or birdland with Bernie
Do the chicken with Dickie
Watusi with Susie
Twist with five and six
