Текст песни Dr. John - 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'll say "Stop!" - don't you move a peg!
When I say "Go!" - just'a shake your leg
And do the mess around,
I decla-a-are, do the mess around,
Yeah, do the mess around!
Everybody's doin' the mess around!

Now let me have it there boy!
(Piano solo)

Now you got it boy!
(Sax solo)

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 thi-ing,
Mess around,
I declare, she can mess around!
Ah, mess around,
Everybody do the mess around!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

(Piano Solo)

Now you got it boy

(Sax Solo)

(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

Everybody doin' the mess around
Now you see that girl, with that, diamond ring
