Ev'rybody Mess Aroun - Ethel Waters/Henderson's Hot Six
Where the Swanee river flows
A dancing man known as moose
Introduced a brand new dance
Has the whole town in a trance
Messing around he calls it messing around
Child at a dance the other night
Someone there turned out the light
When the lights came on once more
A brother was behind the door
Messing around busy messing around
A deacon called on sister brown
Thought her hubby was out of town
All the papers said the next day
The ambulance took his away
Messing around busy messing around
Now old king Solomon was a wise old soul
Had all the gals under his control
But if he was alive today
Sheikhs would steal his broads away
Messing around would beat him messing around
Why anyone can learn the knack
Hands on your hips and nearly break your back
Stand on one spot hold it tight
Twist to the left and jive to the right
And believe me you are messing around
Oh if you can see me now
