- 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"
