Lyrics
Mister Watchacall'im, whatcha doin' tonight?
Hope you're in the mood because I'm feelin' just right.
Your feet were so heavy till 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 Watchacall'im, I'm indebted to you.
It all goes to show what good a new hit could do!
Never felt so happy and so fully alive,
It seems that jammin' jumpin' is a powerful jive!
Swingaroo has given me a new attitude,
My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood!
In the mood, that's it, I've 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!
From jammin' to jumpin', we're in the mood now!
Instrumental
Ooh, ee, ooh.
Ooh, ee, ooh.
Ooh.
Mister Watchacall'im, whatcha doin' tonight?
Hope you're in the mood because I'm feelin' just right.
Your feet were so heavy till 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 Watchacall'im, I'm indebted to you.
It all goes to show what good a new hit could do!
Never felt so happy and so fully alive,
It seems that jammin' jumpin' is a powerful jive!
Swingaroo has given me a new attitude,
My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood!
In the mood, that's it, I've 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!
From jammin' to jumpin', we're in the mood now!
We're heppin', we're steppin',
We're jammin', we're jumpin',
We're swinging, we're winning.
We're in the mood now!
