Lyrics

Who's the livin' dolly with the beautiful eyes?
What a pair of 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 say 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 you share it with me?"
"Well," he answered, "Lady, 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, her crazy lovin'
In the mood, what I was missin'
It didn't take me long to say, "I'm in the mood now"
