Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Remember when you held my hand?
So, you remember when you were my man?
Walk, talk in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Dance it over, yeah, roll it over in your mind
[Verse 2]
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, you say, why don't you dance with me?
I'm not no Limburger
[Verse 3]
Just a Limburger
Just a Limburger
Just a Limburger
Just a Limburger
Dance this mess around
Dance this mess around
'Round, 'round, 'round, 'round
Oh
[PreChorus]
Everybody goes to parties
They dance this mess around
Oh, they do all sixteen dances
They do the Shug-a-Loo
Do the Shy Tuna
Do the Camel Walk
Do the Hypocrite
[Chorus]
Aw, hippy, hippy forward
Hippy, hippy, hippy, hippy, hippy shake
Oh, it's time to do 'em right
Hey, said, doesn't that make you feel a lot better, huh? (Huh?)
Said, doesn't that make you feel a lot better, what you say?
Well, I'm just askin'
[Bridge]
Come on
Shake, whoa
Hey
Shake, whoa
Hey
Shake, whoa
[PreChorus]
Everybody goes to parties
They dance this mess around
Well, they do all sixteen dances
They do the Coo-Ca-Choo
Do the Aqua Velva
Do the Dirty Dog
Do the Escalator
[Verse 4]
Aw, hippy, hippy forward
Hippy, hippy, hippy, hippy, hippy shake
Oh, it's time to do 'em right
Hey, said, doesn't that make you feel a lot better? (Huh?)
Said, doesn't that make you feel a lot better, what you say?
Well, I'm just askin'
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance on over
Dance, dance, dance, dance it around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance this mess around
[Verse 5]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Dance this mess around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
