Lyrics

Jumping with my boy, Sid Right here in the city Don't you know that it was grand? (Really grand, so grand) And then you came along Then you came along, boy And sang your groovy song Sang a song and I asked "Who's that?" Mr. Whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight? (He's hot) Hope you're in the mood because I'm feeling just right (So hot) How's about a corner with a table for two? (He's got) Where the music's mellow is a gay rendezvous (A lot) There's no chance romancing with a blue attitude You know you got to do some dancing to get in the mood! Mr. Watchacallem, I'm indebted to you (you're flip) You're here, it goes to show what good influence can do (I'm hip) Never felt so happy or so fully alive (so hip) He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood! In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever In the groove (that boy) and leave me never In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing You know it won't be long before you're in the mood! Don't be rude, (I love you madly) It's up to you, (I'll take you gladly) Love is blind, (my vision's hazy) It didn't take me long to say I'm in the mood Do ba do ba do bop boo da da day Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes? 'N' look at those lips, I'd try 'em for size Hey, swing with me What a wing it'd be May I intrude? It's time to dance And I'm in the mood Oh, hold me darling, let's dance What a dreamy romance It's a quarter to three There's a mess-o-that moon Let's share it with me 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, and you really got me cookin', oh My heart was skippin' (my heart went skip) My brain was skippin' (my brain went flip) I said c'mon (c'mon), c'mon (c'mon) C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon I'm hot now, oh boy! (I love you madly) Right now, oh boy! (I'll take you gladly) Tight now, oh boy! (I'll be in) And now I'm really in the mood for Rompin'! Stompin'! Smokin'! Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy? It's got to be right now! (Oh boy) It's gotta be right now! (Oh boy) It's got to be right now! (Oh boy) I'm only saying that it didn't take me long Didn't take me long, didn't take me long To say I'm in the mood (Right now, right now) Your flat foot floozy wants a good boy!
