Dance the Mess Around Songtext
von Chubby Checker

′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
Do The Chicken with Cindy
Watusi with Susie
Twist with my little sis

Ah, but if you′re gonna mess around, baby
