IN THE MOOD

Lyrics:
Who's the lovin' daddy 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 said politely "Darlin' may I intrude?",
He said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood.

Firat 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 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."
