Mess Around Lyrics - The Last Mardi Gras - Professor Longhair

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 steady roll * 

They mess around 

They doin' 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 

Now you got it boy 

(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 thing 

Mess around 

I declare, she can mess around 

Ah, mess around, 

everybody do the mess around
