In The Mood
Bette Midler Lyrics

Jumping with my boy, Sid
I am out in the city dancing with my friend Sid.

Right here in the city.
We are in a lively area of the town and having fun.

Don't you know that is was grand?
This experience is wonderful and exciting.

Really grand, so grand.
It is truly an exceptional time.

And then you came along,
Suddenly, you appeared in my life.

Then you came along, boy.
You grabbed my attention and brought something new to our group.

And sang your groovy song,
You started performing a catchy tune.

Sang a song and I asked:
You caught my interest, and I inquired:

Mr. what cha call him, what cha doing tonight?
What is your name, and what are your plans for this evening?

Hope you're in the mood
I am hoping that you are willing to be social and upbeat.

Because I'm feeling just right.
I am having an excellent time and want to keep enjoying myself.

How's about a corner
Would you care to join me in a quiet place?

With a table for two?
Perhaps we could sit with each other and have a conversation.

Where the music's mellow
We can be in a setting with soft and pleasant tunes.

Is a gay rendezvous.
It is a lively location for entertainment.

There's no chance romancing
If one feels melancholy, they are not likely to have a romantic relationship.

With a blue attitude.
Being sad and gloomy is not conducive to love.

You know you got to do some dancing
To enter the energetic and enjoyable state of mind, one must dance and move their body.

To get in the mood.
In order to feel lively and upbeat, you must dance with the others.

Mr. what cha call him, I'm indebted to you.
I am grateful to you for these moments and memories.

You're here. it goes to show what good influence can do.
Your presence has made an impact, and it is evident to the group.

Never felt so happy or so fully alive.
I am experiencing an immense sense of joy and vibrancy right now.

He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive!
The music is infectious and inspiring, and it causes us to dance with enthusiasm.

Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude.
The lively dancing is changing and uplifting my outlook.

My heart is full of rhythm
I feel the beat of the music in my heart and soul.

And I'm in the mood.
My spirits are high, and I am feeling buoyant.

In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever.
With our shared enjoyment of this event, I feel like we will have a lasting connection.

In the groove (that boy) and leave me never.
If we continue to enjoy these moments together, I hope we can create a strong bond.

In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing.
The music, dancing, and festive atmosphere create a mood that is conducive to kissing.

You know it won't be long, before you're in the mood!
The liveliness of the setting will soon have you feeling energized and happy.

Don't be rude, I love you madly.
Please do not be unkind, as I feel strongly for you.

It's up to you, I'll take you gladly.
If you are interested in me, I would be more than happy to have you as my partner.

Love is blind, my vision's hazy.
I am not entirely certain of my judgement, given my intense emotions for you.

It didn't take me long to say
I have quickly arrived at this feeling of infatuation.

I'm in the mood!
I am feeling lively, upbeat, and enthusiastic!

Do ba do ba do bop boo da da day.
This nonsensical phrase is catchy and fits with the music's rhythm.

Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day.
This is an imitation of the music with a few added syllables for effect.

Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes?
There is someone else that has sparked my interest now.

And look at those lips, I'd try 'em for size.
This is a cheeky and flirty comment about the person's appearance.

Hey! swing with me!
Let's dance together and have fun!

What a wing it'd be!
It would be great fun to hang out with you and dance.

May I intrude? it's time to dance
Excuse me, can I join you in dancing right now?

And I'm in the mood!
I am feeling great, buoyant, and energetic right now.

Oh, hold me darling, let's dance.
Let's dance closely together in a romantic way.

What a dreamy romance.
This is such a romantic and lovely experience.

It's a quarter to three.
It is getting late in the evening.

There's a mess-o-that moon.
The moon is visible and looks beautiful tonight.

Let's share it with me.
Will you enjoy this beautiful sight with me?

You know, I think it's rude
It is somewhat disrespectful to keep me waiting like this.

To keep me this way
To keep me waiting for you to show affection.

When I'm in the mood.
When I am feeling energetic and lively like this!

Man-oh-man, wow!
This is so exciting and energetic!

Now you really got me lookin'.
I cannot help but notice you and feel attracted to you.

Oh, and you really got me cookin', oh!
My feelings of attraction for you are intense and powerful.

My heart went flip, my brain went skip.
This is a lighthearted way of describing the feeling of infatuation.

I said come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
I am urging you to join me in this moment of fun and excitement.

I'm hot now! I love you madly!
I am feeling both emotional and physical attraction to you right now.

Right now! I'll take you gladly!
At this moment, I would be happy to be with you.

Tight now! I'll be in!
I am committed to being with you emotionally and physically.

And now I'm really in the mood, boy!
Now, I am truly feeling cheerful, lively, and carefree.

Rompin'! stompin'! smokin'!
This is an overly enthusiastic description of the current fun and enthusiasm we are experiencing.

Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy?
Perhaps we should take our connection to a more romantic level.

It's got to be right now!
This is such an exciting and lively moment, and we should take advantage of it.

It's gotta be right now!
This moment is so energizing and fun, and there's no better time to act on our emotions.

It's got to be right now!
This moment is fleeting and will not last forever, so we should seize the present opportunity.

I'm only saying that it didn't take me long,
I am only stating that my feelings for you were sparked quickly and easily.

Didn't take me long, didn't take me long
These sudden feelings of infatuation arrived very swiftly.

To say I'm in the mood.
To express my happiness, enthusiasm, and carefree attitude right now.

Your flat foot floozy wants a good boy!
This is an overly enthusiastic phrase used to express my desire for someone who will match my energy and enthusiasm.
