Mess Around

Lyrics: Ahmet Ertegun
Music: Ahmet Ertegun

Played by Kingfish in the 1980s.

Oh, you can talk about your pit, barbecue
The band was jumping, and the people too
We're doing the mess around
We're doing the mess around
We're doing the mess around
Everybody doing the mess around

Ah, everybody was juiced, you can bet your soul
They did the boogie-woogie, with a steady roll
They're doing the mess around
They're doing the mess around
We do the mess around
Everybody do the mess around

Now when I say stop, don't you move a peg
When I say go, just shake your leg
And do the mess around
I declare, do the mess around
We do the mess around
Everybody do the mess around

Now this band's going to play from nine to one
Everybody here's gonna have some fun
They're doing the mess around
They're doing the mess around
We do the mess around
Everybody do the mess around

Now you see that girl, with that diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing
And do the mess around
Do the mess around
I declare, do the mess around
Everybody do the mess around

We're gonna mess around
We're gonna mess around
We're gonna mess around
We're gonna mess around
We do the mess around
Everybody do the mess around
