Who's the lovin' 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 "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-cha share it with me"
"Well" he answered "Baby, 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 his crazy lovin'
In the mood what I was missin'
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in the mood now"

In the Mood
Artist: Glenn Miller
Album: Pure Gold
Song Length: 3:31
George's Thoughts: Certainly the best known Jive tunes ever cut, this one has been duplicated beyond count. However, the Glenn Miller original still seems to be the best version out there. The definitive Jive song that set the standard for everything else. A very nice slightly slower 39bpm version is on the Madacy album "Strictly Swing and Jive" for those who have that CD.
