New dance that just hit town
New dance that just hit town
New dance that just hit town

New dance that just hit town
New dance that just hit town
It's called the mess around


Well, everybody's doing that dance
From America all the way to France

They've even doing it across the land
They've got them doing it on Bandstand


That dance that just hit town
Which is called the mess around


Me and my baby do that dance
When we're walking down the street
Me and my baby do that dance

Every time we meet

That dance that just hit town

Which is called the mess around, hey

Well, first you glide

Then you slide
Then you and your partner
Walk side by side


Round and round, up and down
Then you're doing the mess around


If you don't know how
To do the dance right now

Watch me and I'll show you how

First you glide, then you slide

Then you and your partner
Walk side by side


Then you're doing the dance
That just hit town
Which is called the mess around


Hey, hey (let's do the mess around)
Hey, hey (let's do the mess around)

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
(Let's do the mess around)
Hey, hey (let's do the mess around)


Mess around (mess around)
Mess around (mess around)

Mess around (let's do the mess around)

I said, come on, baby

(Let's do the mess around)
Come on, baby (let's do the mess around)
Come on, baby (let's do the mess around)

Come on, baby (let's do the mess around)
