Sides face, grand square
Who's the lovely lady with the beautiful eyes?
What a pair of lips; I'd like to try 'em for size!
I'll just tell her, baby won't you swing it with me?
Hope she tells me maybe, what a swing it would be!
Four ladies chain, turn a girl around
You chain 'em on back and promenade around
So I said politely, darlin' may I intrude?
She said don't you keep me waitin' while I'm in the mood

Heads (sides) square thru and get me four hands around
Make a right hand star and turn the star and go round now
The heads star left... boogie heads
To the same girl both hands single circle he said
Rear back and star thru then roll to face
Swing that girl around and you promenade I said
So I told her, baby don't you know that it's rude
To keep me here a waitin' when I'm in the mood

Sides face, grand square
In the mood, be mine forever
In the mood, and leave me never
In the mood, give me some kissin' now
Won't be long now before you know I'm in the mood now
Four ladies chain, turn a girl around
You chain 'em on back and promenade around
In the mood, Oh what I'm missin'
It won't take me long to say I'm in the mood now

Sides face, grand square
In the mood, that's what she told me
In the mood, and when she told me
In the mood, my heart was skippin'
Didn't take me long to say I'm in the mood now
Four ladies chain, turn a girl around
You chain 'em on back and promenade around
In the mood, my vision's hazy
Didn't take me long to say I'm in the mood now
