Who's the lovin' daddy with the beautiful eyes
What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size
I'll just tell him, "Baby, won't you swing it with me"
Hope he tells me maybe, what a wing it will be
So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
He said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"

First I held him lightly and we started to dance
Then I held him tightly what a dreamy romance
And I said "Hey, baby, it's a quarter to three
There's a mess of moonlight, won't-cha share it with me"
"Well" he answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood"

In the mood, that's what he told me
In the mood, and when he told me
In the mood, my heart was skippin'
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"

In the mood for all his kissin'
In the mood his crazy lovin'
In the mood what I was missin'
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"



So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
He said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"



"Well" he answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood"

Bette Midler

Jumping with my boy, Sid
right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?
Really grand, so grand.
And then you came along,
then you came along, boy.
And sang your groovy song,
sang a song and I asked:

Mr. Whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight?
Hope you're in the mood
because I'm feeling just right.
How's about a corner
with a table for two?
Where the music's mellow
is a gay rendezvous.
There's no chance romancing
with a blue attitude.
You know you got to do some dancing
to get in the mood.

Mr. Watchacallem, I'm indebted to you.
You're here. It goes to show what good influence can do.
Never felt so happy or so fully alive.
He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive!
Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude.
My heart is full of rhythm
and I'm in the mood.

In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever.
In the groove (that boy) and leave me never.
In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing.
You know it won't be long
before you're in the mood!

Don't be rude, I love you madly.
It's up to you, I'll take you gladly.
Love is blind, my vision's hazy.
It didn't take me long to say
I'm in the mood!

Do ba do ba do bop boo da da day.
Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day.
Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes?
'N' look at those lips, I'd try 'em for size.
Hey! Swing with me!
What a wing it'd be!
May I intrude? It's time to dance
and I'm in the mood!

Oh, hold me darling, let's dance.
What a dreamy romance.
It's a quarter to three.
There's a mess-o-that moon.
Let's share it with me.
You know, I think it's rude
to keep me this way
when I'm in the mood.
I'm in the mood, in the groove!
In the mood, ah, ah, ah!

Man-oh-man, wow!
Like, you really got me lookin'.
Oh, and you really got me cookin', oh!

My heart went flip, my brain went skip.
I said c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
I'm hot now! Oh boy! I love you madly!
Right now! Oh boy! I'll take you gladly!
Tight now! Oh boy! I'll be in!
And now I'm really in the mood, boy!

Rompin'! Stompin'! Smokin'!
Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy?

It's got to be right now!
It's gotta be right now!
It's got to be right now!
I'm only saying that it didn't take me long,
didn't take me long, didn't take me long
to say I'm in the mood.
Your flat foot floozy wants a good boy!


Andrew Sisters

Mister Whatchacallum
what-cha doin' tonight?
Hope you're in the mood because I'm feelin' just right.
How's about a corner with a table for two
where the music's mellow in some gray rendez-vous?
There's no chance romancin' with a blue attitude.
You've got to do some dancing to get in the mood.

Sister Watchacallum
that's a timely idea.
Something swinga dilla would be good to my ear.
Ev'rybody must agree that dancin' has charms
when you have that certain one you love in our arms.
Steppin' out with you will be a sweet interlude

a buildcrupper that will put me in the mood.

In the mood
- that's it
I've got it

in the mood
- your ear will spot it

in the mood
- oh
what a hot hit.
Be alive and get the jive
you've got to learn how.
Hep
hep
hep. - hep like a hepper.
Pep
pep
pep. - Hot as a pepper.
Step
step
step. - Step like a steper.
We're muggin' and huggin'
we're in the mood now.

Mister Watchacallum
all you needed was fun.
You can see the wonders that this ev'nin' has done.
Your feet were so heavy till they hardly could move.
Now they're light as feathers and you're right in the groove.
You were only hungry for some musical food.
You're positively absolutely in the mood.
Sister Watchacallum I'm indebted to you.
It all goes to show what good influence can do.
Never felt so happy and so fully alive

seems that jam and jumpin' is a powerful jive.
Swingaroo has given me a new attitude

my heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood.
