Dance the Mess Around Songtext
von Chubby Checker

′Bout this dance called the Mess Around
Baby, dig what I'm puttin′ down

You can onie with Tony
Twist with Mr. Lee
But if you're gonna mess around
Mess around with me
Or 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


Or you can cha-cha with Charlie
Stroll with Stagger Lee
But if you′re gonna mess around
Mess around with me

Or you can pony with Tony, come on, now
Hey, do the twist with Mr. Lee, one more time

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 for copper, please
But if you're gonna mess around
You hear me? Mess around with me

Or birdland with Bernie
Do the chicken with Dickie
Watusi with Susie
Twist with five and six
