- Chorus:
- Who's the livin' 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!"

- Bridge:
- 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
kissing, In the mood, his crazy loving,
In the mood, what I was missing, It didn't take me long to say
"I'm in the mood now."
