Mess Around Songtext
von Ray Charles and His Orchestra

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
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


I declare, do the mess around
Yeah do the mess around
Everybody′s doin' the mess around

Now let me have it there boy

Now you got it boy

Yeah, ah, mess around, go on mess around

Mess around, boy

Now this band′s goin' to play from, 9 to 1
Everybody here′s gonna have some fun
Doin' the mess around

Ah, doin' the mess around
They doin′ the mess around
Everybody doin′ the mess around

Now you see that girl, with that, diamond ring
She knows how to, shake that thing
Mess around

I declare, she can mess around
Ah, mess around
Everybody do the mess around
