[Intro]
GA7Am7D7
[Verse 1]
G
Who's the livin' dolly with the beautiful eyes?
G
What a pair of lips -- I'd like to try 'em for size.
C
I'll just tell her, "Baby, won't you swing it with me?"
G
Hope she tells me "Maybe" -- what a wing it will be.
D7
So I said politely, "Darlin' may I intrude?"
Am7GC6Eb7D7G6
She said don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood."

[Verse 2]
G
First I held her lightly and we started to dance;
G
Then I held her tightly -- what a dreamy romance!
C
And I said, "Hey, baby, it's a quarter to three...
G
There's a mess of moonlight, won't you share it with me?"
D7
"Well," she answered, "Mister, don't cha know that it's rude
Am7GC6Eb7D7G6
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood?"
[Chorus 1]
GGdimAm7 D7b9
In the mood -- that's what she told me,
GGdimAm7 D7b9
In the mood -- and when she told me
GGdimAm7 D7b9
In the mood -- my heart was skippin';
D7DdimD7Eb7D7G6
It didn't take me long to say, "I'm in the mood now."
[Chorus 2]
GGdimAm7 D7b9
In the mood (oh joy) for all her kissin',
GGdimAm7 D7b9
In the mood (oh joy) her crazy lovin',
GGdimAm7 D7b9
In the mood (oh boy) what I was missin' --
D7DdimD7Eb7D7G6
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now."
