[Intro]
G A7 Am7 D7
[Verse 1]
G
Mister Whatchacallum watcha doin' tonight?
Hope you're in the mood because I'm feelin' just right.
C
How's about a corner with a table for two,
G
Where the music's mellow in some gay rendezvous.
D7
There's no chance romancin' with the blue attitude,
Am7 G C6 Eb7 D7 G6
You've got to do some dancin' to get in the mood.
[Verse 2]
G
Sister Whatchacallum that's a timely idea,
Something swingadilla would be good to my ear.
C
Everybody must agree that dancin' has charms
G
When you have that certain one you love in your arms.
D7
Steppin' out with you will be a sweet interlude,
Am7 G C6 Eb D11 G6
A builder-upper that will put me in the mood.
[Chorus 1]
G Gdim Am7 D7b9

[Verse 3]
G
Mister Whatchacallum all you needed was fun,
You can see the wonders that this evenin' has done.
C
Your feet were so heavy till they hardly could move,
G
Now they're light as feathers and you're right in the groove.
D7
You were only hungry for some musical food,
Am7 G C6 Eb D11 G6
You're positively, absolutely in the mood.
[Verse 4]
G
Sister Whatchacallum I'm indebted to you,
It all goes to show what good influence can do.
C
Never felt so happy and so fully alive,
G
Seems that jam and jumpin' is a powerful jive.
D7
Swing a roo has given me a new attitude,
Am7 G C6 Eb D11 G6
My heart is full of rhythm and I'm in the mood.
