In the Mood

-words by Andy Razaf music by Joe Garland

-as recorded by The Andrews Sisters

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
