In The Mood

(album: Nuggets - 1977)

Who's the loving dolly with the beautiful eyes
What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size
I'll just tell her, "Baby, won't you swing it with me"
Hope she tells me maybe, what a wing it will be

So, I said politely "Darling may I intrude"
She said "Don't keep me waiting when I'm in the mood"
First I hold her lightly and we started to dance
Then I hold her 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 waiting when they're in the mood"

In the mood, that's what she told me
In the mood, and when she told me
In the mood, my heart was skipping
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"

In the mood for all his kissing
In the mood her crazy loving
In the mood what I was missing
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"

So, I said politely "Darling may I intrude"
He said "Don't keep me waiting when I'm in the mood"
"Well" he answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
To keep my two lips waiting when they're in the mood"

Who's the loving 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 "Darling may I intrude"
He said "Don't keep me waiting 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
It'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 waiting when they're in the mood"
