(Joe Garland, Andy Razaf)      Mr. What-ya-call-em what you doin' tonight   Hope you're in the mood because I'm feeling just right   How's about a corner with a table for two   Where the music's mellow in some gay rendezvous   There's no chance romancin' with a blue attitude   You got to do some dancin' to get in the mood      Sister What-ya-call-em that's a kindly idea   Something swing-a-dilla would be good to my ear   Ev'rybody must agree the dancin' has charm   When you have the certain one you love in your arms   Steppin' out with you will be a sweet interlude   A builder-up with that will put me in the mood      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   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 muggin' and huggin'   We're in the mood now      Mr. What-ya-call-em all you needed was fun   You can see the wonders that this evenin' 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 What-ya-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 jammin' jumpin' 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 muggin' and now we're huggin'   'Cause we're in the mood
