[Intro]
N.C.
Jumping with my boy, Sid right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?( Really grand, so grand).
[A7]And then you came along, then you came along, boy.
[Am7]And sang your groovy song, [D7]sang a song and I asked:
[Verse 1]
[A]Mr. Whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight?
Hope you're in the mood because I'm feeling just right.
[D]How's about a corner with a table for two?
[A]Where the music's mellow is a gay rendezvous.
[E7]There's no chance romancing with a blue attitude.
([Bm7]You know y[A]ou got to do s[D6]ome dancing to get [F7]in t[E7]he [A6]mood.)
[Verse 2]
[A]Mr. Watchacallem, I'm indebted to you.
You're here. It goes to show what good influence can do.
[D]Never felt so happy or so fully alive.
[A]He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive!
[E7]Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude.
([Bm7]My heart [A]is full of [D6]rhythm and I'm [F7]in t[E7]he [A6]mood.)
[Chorus 1]
[A]In the mood [Adim](oh bo[Bm7]y) be mine forev[E7b9]er.
[A]In the groove[Adim] (that[Bm7] boy) and leave me nev[E7b9]er.
[A]In the mood[Adim] (oh j[Bm7]oy) give me some kiss[E7b9]ing.
You [E7]know it won't [Edim]be long before you're [E7]in [F7]the [E7]mo-[A]od!
[Chorus 2]
[A]Don't be rude[Adim],(oh b[Bm7]oy) I love you mad[E7b9]ly.
[A]It's up to you,[Adim] (oh b[Bm7]oy) I'll take you glad[E7b9]ly.
[A]Love is blind,[Adim] (oh b[Bm7]oy) my vision's h[E7b9]azy.
It [E7]didn't take me [Edim]long to say I'm [E7]in [F7]the [E7]moo-[A]od!
[Scat]
N.C.
Do ba do ba do bop boo (da da day).
N.C.
Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day (dah)
[A]Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes?
[A]An look at those lips, I'd try 'em for size.
N.C.
(Hey!) Swing with me!
(hah) What a wing it'd be!
(hay) May I intrude?
It's time to dance and I'm in the mood!
Oh, hold me darling,
let's dance. (huh)
What a dreamy romance. (Hah)
It's a quarter to three. (hoo)
There's a mess-o-that moon.(huh)
Let's share it with me. (huh)
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)
Oh, and you really got me cookin', (oh!)
My heart went flip, (my heart went flip)
my brain went skip. (my brain went skip)
I said c'mon, (c'mon), c'mon, (c'mon), c'mon, c'mon c'mon c'mon.
[Chorus 3]
[A]I'm hot now![Adim] Oh bo[Bm7]y! I love you ma[E7b9]dly!
[A]Right now![Adim] Oh bo[Bm7]y! I'll take you glad[E7b9]ly!
[A]Tight now![Adim] Oh bo[Bm7]y! I'll be i[E7b9]n!
And[E7] now I'm [Edim]really i[E7]n t[F7]he m[E7]ood, [A]Fo-or!
N.C.
Rompin'! ---- Stompin'! ---- Smokin'!
Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy?
[Chorus 4]
[A]It's got to [Adim]be rig[Bm7]ht n[E7b9]ow! (oh boy)
[A]It's gotta b[Adim]e righ[Bm7]t n[E7b9]ow! (oh boy)
[A]It's got to [Adim]be rig[Bm7]ht n[E7b9]ow! (oh boy)
[A]I'm only saying that it didn't take me long, (noo)
didn't take me long, (noo)
didn't take me long (noo)
[A]to say I'm in the mood.
([A]who the guy with the beautiful eyes?)
