歌詞: Chubby Checker. (at The) Discotheque.

Bout this dance called the mess around
Baby dig what I'm puttin' down

You can Pony with Tony
Twist with Mr. Lee
But if you're gonna Mess Around
Mess Around with me

Do the Shimmy with Henry
Hucklebuck with Dee
But if you're gonna Mess Around
You better Mess Around with me

All the other dances you are free
But you better save the last dance for me

You can Cha Cha with Charlie
Stroll with Stagger Lee
But if you're gonna Mess Around
Mess Around with me

You can Pony with Tony
Come on now

***Break***

Hey the Twist with Mr. Lee
Hey one more time

Round and round and around Hey

***Break***

But if you're gonna Mess Around
You better Mess Around with me

All the other dances you are free
But you better save the last dance for me

A Hully Gully with Harry
Slop with [ ]
But if you're gonna Mess Around
Hear me Mess Around with me

Do the Birdland with Furdie
Do the Chicken with [ ]
Watusi with Susie
Twist with my little sis...fade

[ ] Uncertain of lyric
