I Was In The Mood 1933

Dr. Pitt-payne in London UK - 07 Nov 2003

My friend told me about the night
he raised his hat,
And how it brought him ecstasy,
I said: "It's funny, but something like that
Once happened to me.
The moon was shining bright,
and I felt rather gay,
She had a pair of eyes so blue,
I didn't start in exactly that way,
but I ended like you:

I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm
She was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
And so I held her hand,
She thought it grand, you understand
That I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
She was in my arms, Hmmmmmm.
Love was in her eyes, Hmmmmmm.
I tried a soft caress,
She answered: "Yes."
I must confess
that she was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
I thought that I'd better speak to her mother,
'cause you know how mothers are,
When she had given her blessing,
Then father said: "Now you may call me 'Pa'."
'Cause he was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
To see his daughter wooed, Hmmmmmm.
I took it like a lamb,
A fool I am, I push a pram,
'Cause I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.

I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm
She was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
And so I held her hand,
She thought it grand, you understand
That I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
She was in my arms, Hmmmmmm.
Love was in her eyes, Hmmmmmm.
I tried a soft caress,
She answered: "Yes."
I must confess
that she was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
I thought that I'd better speak to her mother,
'cause you know how mothers are,
When she had given her blessing,
Then father said: "Now you may call me 'Pa'."
'Cause he was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
To see his daughter wooed, Hmmmmmm.
I took it like a lamb,
A fool I am, I push a pram,
'Cause I was in the mood, Hmmm-mmm.

It's funny what a moonlight night
does to your heart,
You've got to listen to love's call.
You may feel brave,
maybe Just at the start,
But then you'll soon fall. Say!
I recall the night the moon got hold of me,
I thought that I'd resist its spell,
A pair of blue eyes was all I could see,
Now this story I tell:

I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm
She was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
And so I held her hand,
She thought it grand, you understand
That I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
She was in my arms, Hmmmmmm.
Love was in her eyes, Hmmmmmm.
I tried a soft caress,
She answered: "Yes."
I must confess
that she was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
I thought that I'd better speak to her mother,
'cause you know how mothers are,
When she had given her blessing,
Then father said: "Now you may call me 'Pa'."
'Cause he was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
To see his daughter wooed, Hmmmmmm.
I took it like a lamb,
A fool I am, I push a pram,
'Cause I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.

I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm
She was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
And so I held her hand,
She thought it grand, you understand
That I was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
She was in my arms, Hmmmmmm.
Love was in her eyes, Hmmmmmm.
I tried a soft caress,
She answered: "Yes."
I must confess
that she was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
I thought that I'd better speak to her mother,
'cause you know how mothers are,
When she had given her blessing,
Then father said: "Now you may call me 'Pa'."
'Cause he was in the mood, Hmmmmmm.
To see his daughter wooed, Hmmmmmm.
I took it like a lamb,
A fool I am, I push a pram,
'Cause I was in the mood, Hmmm-mmm.
