|
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"
|
|
So, I said politely "Darlin' may I intrude"
|
He said "Don't keep me waitin' when I'm in the mood"
|
|
"Well" he answered "Baby, don't-cha know that it's rude
|
To keep my two lips waitin' when they're in the mood"
