| Hmmm, do, do, do, do, do, do,
|
| Doooo!
|
| Where the Swanee River flows,
|
| A dancin' man known as Mose,
|
| Introduced a brand-new dance,
|
| Has the whole town in a trance;
|
| Messin' around, he calls it messin' around!
|
| Child, at a dance the other night,
|
| Someone there turned out the light,
|
| When the lights came on once more,
|
| A brother was behind the door,
|
| Messin' around, busy messin' around!
|
| A deacon called on Sister Brown,
|
| Thought her hubby was out of town,
|
| All the papers said the next day,
|
| The ambulance took his away,
|
| Messin' around, busy messin' around!
|
| Now, old King Solomon was a wise old soul,
|
| Had all the gals under his control,
|
| But if he was alive today,
|
| Sheiks would steal his broads away,
|
| Messin' around, would beat him messin' around!
|
| Why, anyone can learn the knack,
|
| Hands on your hips and nearly break your back,
|
| Stand on one spot, hold it tight,
|
| Twist to the left, and jive to the right,
|
| And believe me, you are messin' around!
|
| Oh, if you can see me now! |
