Verse 1:
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 a-round.

Ah, everybody was juiced you can bet your soul,
They did the Boogie-Woogie with a steady roll;
They mess around, they doin' the mess around.
They doin' the mess around;
Everybody doin' the mess a-round.

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;

Everybody doin' the mess a-round.

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 a-round.
