IN THE MOOD Words & Music by Andy Razaf & Joe Garland, 1939
Recorded by Glenn Miller,
alt lyrics recorded by The Andrews Sisters
and then later this version by Bette Midler with modern lyrics and a lot of freeform
(The key to this song is the swinging beat that carries thru to the lyrics too.)
[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 D7
And sang your groovy song, 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 A D6 F7 E7 A6
(You know you got to do some dancing to get in the 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 A D6 F7 E7 A6
(My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood.)
[Chorus 1]
A Adim Bm7 E7b9
In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever.
A Adim Bm7 E7b9
In the groove (that boy) and leave me never.
A Adim Bm7 E7b9
In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing.
E7 Edim E7 F7 E7 A
You know it won't be long before you're in the mo-od!
[Chorus 2]
