Rick Derringer - The Mess Around Lyrics

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

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
