Who´s the lovely daddy with the beautiful eyes
What a pair of lips, I´d like to try them 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 he held me lightly and we started to dance
Then he held me tightly what a dreamy romance
And he said "Hey, baby, it´s a quarter to three
There´s a mess of moonlight, won´t cha share it with me"
then I answered "Baby, don´t cha know that it´s rude
To keep my sisters waitin´ when I´m 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"

First he held me lightly when we started to dance
Then he held me tightly what a dreamy romance
And he said "Hey, baby, it´s a quarter to three
There´s a mess of moonlight, won´t cha share it with me"
then I answered "Baby, don´t cha know that it´s rude
To keep my sisters waitin´ when I´m 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"
