Mess Around
Ray Charles
[Verse 1]
Ah, you can talk about the pit barbecue
The band was jumping, the people too
Ah, mess around
They doin' the mess around
They doin' the mess around
Everybody doin' the mess around

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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, doin' the mess around
Yeah, do the mess around
Everybody's doin' the mess around
[Bridge]
Now let me have it there, boy
Now you got it, boy
(Yeah, ah, mess around, go on mess around)
(Mess around, boy)

[Verse 4]
Now this band's going to play from nine to one
Everybody here's gonna have some fun
Doin' the mess around
They doin' the mess around
They doin' the mess around
Everybody doin' the mess around

[Verse 5]
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
