Ahhh you can talk about the pit
Barbeque

The people too
Ahhh mess around
They doin' the mess around

Everybody's doin' the mess around
Ahhh everybody was juiced
You can bet your soul
They did the boogie boogie
With a steady roll
They mess around
They doin' the mess around
They doin' the mess around
Everybody's doin' the mess around
Now uh, when I say stop
Don't you move a peg
When I say go
Just uh, shake your leg
And do the mess around
I declare do the mess around

Everybody's doin' the mess around

With that diamond ring

Shake that thing
