Remember when you held my hand

Remember when you were my man

Walk talk in the name of love

Before you break my heart

Think it over, think it over

Roll it over in your mind



Why don't you dance with me

I'm not no Limburger

Just a limburger



Dance this mess around

Dance this mess around 'round 'round



Everybody goes to parties

They dance this mess around

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 Shake, Hippy Shake



Oh---it's time to do 'em right

Hey now, don't that make you feel you a whole lot better?

Huh?

I say, don't that make you a whole lot better?



What you say?

I'm just askin'



Shake-Bake-Shake-Bake



Everybody goes to parties

They dance this mess around

They do all 16 dances

Do the Coo-ca-choo

Do the Aqua-velva

Do the Dirty dog

Do the Escalator



Ah---Hippy Hippy forward Hippy Hippy

Hippy Shake, Hippy Shake



It's time to do 'em right

Hey! Fred, now don't that make you feel a whole lot better now?

Huh?



Say, don't that make you feel a whole lot better?



What you say?

I'm just askin'



Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Stop!

Dance on over

Yeah, yeah



Dance, dance, dance the mess around

Dance this mess around



Shake, shake-a-bake shake

Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Dance this mess around

Yeah, yeah, yeah..
