Lyrics Don?t Forget To Mess Around - Louis Armstrong Hot Five

Don?t Forget To Mess Around

Don’t forget to mess around when you’re doing the Charleston
Charleston!
First thing you do, now when you rear, way back
Say, you grab your gal, and then you clap your hands
And you do the Eagle Rock, but don’t you stop at all!
Uncle Jack, the dancing fool, he would never do the Charleston
Charleston!
When he learned of that brand new dance: such a prance
And he forgot his name, when he danced this brand new way
Then he yelled out, don’t forget to do your stuff
When you dance the mess around!
