IN THE MOOD
Words - Andy Razaf

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

First I held her lightly, and we started to dance,
then I held her 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" she answered, "Mister 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 she told me.
In the mood, and when she 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 her kissin'.
In the mood, her crazy lovin',
in the mood, what I was missin'. It
didn't take me long to say, "I'm in the mood now!"

IN THE MOOD
Andrews Sisters Version

Mr. What-ya-call-em what you doin 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 in some gay rendezvous
There's no chance romancin' with a blue attitude
You got to do some dancin' to get in the mood

Sister What-ya-call-em that's a kindly idea
Something swing-a-dilla would be good to my ear
Ev'rybody must agree the dancin' has charm
When you have the certain one you love in your arms
Steppin' out with you will be a sweet interlude
A builder-up with that will put me in the mood

In the mood - that's it I 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 stepper
We're muggin' and huggin'
We're in the mood now

Mr. What-ya-call-em all you needed was fun
You can see the wonders that this evenin' has done
Your feet were so heavy 'til 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 What-ya-call-em I'm indebted to you
It all goes to show what food and fluids can do
Never felt so happy and so fully alive
Seems that jammin' jumpin' is a powerful jive
Swingeroo is giving me a new attitude
My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood

In the mood that's it 'cause I got it and I'm
In the mood your ear will spot it when you're
In the mood bobbity bop a diddly-bop-a-bop-a
Be alive and get the jive
You've got to learn how

Hep, hep, hep, you're hep like a hepper full of
Pep, pep, pep, you're hot as a pepper and you
Step, step, step, step step like a stepper
We're muggin' and now we're huggin'
'Cause we're in the mood
