In The Mood

Words & Music:

Glenn Miller

 

The original Andrews Sisters version.

 

C

Mr. Whatcha-Call-'Em, what you doing tonight?

C

Hope you're in the mood because I'm feeling just right.

F

How's about a corner with a table for two?

C

Where the music's mellow in some gay rendezvous.

G7

There's no chance romancing with a blue attitude.

    C              F              Ab7    C

You got to do some dancing to get in the mood.

 

Sister Whatcha-Call-'Em, that's a kindly idea.

Something swing-a-dilla would be good to my ear.

Everybody must agree the dancing has charm,

When you have the certain one you love in your arms.

Stepping out with you will be a sweet interlude.

A builder-up with that will put me in the mood.

 

C       Dm7   G

In the mood - that's it, I got it.

In the mood - your ear will spot it.

In the mood - oh, what a hot hit.

G                                 C

Be alive and get the jive, you've got to learn how.

 

Hep, hep, hep - hep like a hepper.

Pep, pep, pep - hot as a pepper.

Step, step, step - step like a stepper.

We're mugging and hugging, we're in the mood, now.

 

Mr. Whatcha-Call-'Em, all you needed was fun.

You can see the wonders that this evening has done.

Your feet were so heavy 'til they hardly could move.

Now they're light as feathers and you're right in the groove.

You were only hungry for some musical food.

You're positively, absolutely in the mood.


Sister Whatcha-Call-'Em, I'm indebted to you.

It all goes to show what good influence can do.

Never felt so happy and so fully alive.

Seems that jamming jumping is a powerful jive.

Swingeroo is giving me a new attitude.

My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood.

 

In the mood – that's it, 'cause I got it!  And I'm

In the mood – your ear will spot it!  When you're

In the mood – bobbity bop a diddly-bop-a-bop-a!

Be alive and get the jive, you've got to learn how.

 

Hep, hep, hep, you're hep like a hepper full of.

Pep, pep, pep, you're hot as a pepper and you.

Step, step, step, step step like a stepper.

We're mugging and now we're hugging 'cause we're in the mood.
