G
Who's the livin' daddy with the beautiful eyes?

G
What a pair of lips -- I'd like to try 'em for size.

C
I'll just tell him, "Baby, won't you swing it with me?"

G
Hope he tells me "Maybe" -- what a wing it will be.

D7                                               
So I said politely, "Darlin' may I intrude?"

Am7  G                Gdim             Am7alt  D7  G6         D7
He said don't keep me waitin' when I'm   in   the mood."


G                                               F#
First I held him lightly and we started to dance;

G                                                           
Then I held her tightly -- what a dreamy romance!

C                                                  F#
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," he answered, "Baby, don't you know that it's rude

Am7  G                Gdim               Am7alt  D7  G6         D7
To  keep my two lips waitin' when they're  in   the mood?"


Interlude:

G      Gdim  Am7 alt                 Cdim
In the mood    --     that's what she told me,

G      Gdim  Am7 alt              D
In the mood    --   and when she told me

G      Gdim  Am7 alt            D7sus4
In the mood   --   my heart was skippin';

   D7             Fdim              D7 Gdim  D7   G
It didn't take me long to say, "I'm in  the mood now."

G      Gdim    Am7alt            Cdim
In the mood (oh joy) for all her kissin',

G      Gdim    Am7alt           D
In the mood (oh joy) her crazy lovin',

G     Gdim     Am7alt           D7sus4
In the mood (oh boy) what I was missin' --

First Time:

   D7             Fdim             D7 Gdim  D7   G
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in  the mood now."

Last Time:

   D7             Fdim             D7 Gdim  D7   G
It didn't take me long to say "I'm in  the mood now."
