Dance This Mess Around

Remember when you held my hand?
Say, remember when you were my man?
Walk, talk in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over, roll it over in your mind

Why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger
Why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger

Oh say, why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger
Just a limber girl, just a limber girl
Just a limber girl, just a limber girl

Dance this mess around
Dance this mess around
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round

Oh, everybody goes to parties
They dance this mess around
They do all sixteen dances
They do the Shu ga loo, do the Shy Tuna
Do the Camel Walk, do the Hip O Crit

Ah, hippy, hippy forward hippy, hippy
Hippy, hippy, hippy shake
Oh, it's time to do 'em right

Oh, it's time to do 'em right
