This song incorporates the beat of the dance craze of the time “The Charleston” quite well, and Louis adds in fun, lighthearted lyrics to drive home the foot-tapping properties of his song.
Don't Forget To Mess Around
—
Dippermouth
Recorded June 16, 1926 Track Time 3:04 Written by Louis Armstron...
Don't forget to mess around when you're doing the Charleston
Charleston!
First thing you do, now when you rear, way back
Say, you grab your gal, and then you clap your hands
And you do the Eagle Rock, but don't you stop at all!
Uncle Jack, the dancing fool, he would never do the Charleston
Charleston!
When he learned of that brand new dance: such a prance
And he forgot his name, when he danced this brand new way
Then he yelled out, don't forget to do your stuff
When you dance the mess around!
Don’t Forget To Mess Around was written by Louis Armstrong.
Louis Armstrong & His Hot Five released Don’t Forget To Mess Around on Fri Feb 26 1926.
