Lyrics
Jumping with my boy, Sid
Right here in the city
Don't you know that it was grand?
(Really grand, so grand)
And then you came along
Then you came along, boy
And sang your groovy song
Sang a song and I asked
"Who's that?"
Mr. Whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight? (He's hot)
Hope you're in the mood because I'm feeling just right (So hot)
How's about a corner with a table for two? (He's got)
Where the music's mellow is a gay rendezvous (A lot)
There's no chance romancing with a blue attitude
You know you got to do some dancing to get in the mood!
Mr. Watchacallem, I'm indebted to you (you're flip)
You're here, it goes to show what good influence can do (I'm hip)
Never felt so happy or so fully alive (so hip)
He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive
Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude
My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood!
In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever
In the groove (that boy) and leave me never
In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing
You know it won't be long before you're in the mood!
Don't be rude, (I love you madly)
It's up to you, (I'll take you gladly)
Love is blind, (my vision's hazy)
It didn't take me long to say
I'm in the mood
Do ba do ba do bop boo da da day
Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day
Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes?
'N' look at those lips, I'd try 'em for size
Hey, swing with me
What a wing it'd be
May I intrude? It's time to dance
And I'm in the mood
Oh, hold me darling, let's dance
What a dreamy romance
It's a quarter to three
There's a mess-o-that moon
Let's share it with me
You know, I think it's rude
To keep me this way when I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood, in the groove
In the mood, ah, ah, ah
Man-oh-man, wow!
Like, you really got me lookin'
Oh, and you really got me cookin', oh
My heart was skippin' (my heart went skip)
My brain was skippin' (my brain went flip)
I said c'mon (c'mon), c'mon (c'mon)
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
I'm hot now, oh boy! (I love you madly)
Right now, oh boy! (I'll take you gladly)
Tight now, oh boy! (I'll be in)
And now I'm really in the mood for
Rompin'! Stompin'! Smokin'!
Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy?
It's got to be right now! (Oh boy)
It's gotta be right now! (Oh boy)
It's got to be right now! (Oh boy)
I'm only saying that it didn't take me long
Didn't take me long, didn't take me long
To say I'm in the mood
(Right now, right now)
Your flat foot floozy wants a good boy!
