Lyrics
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
Chorus:
I was in the mood, hmm-hmm
She was in the mood, hmm-hmm
And so I held her hand
She thought it grand, you understand
That I was in the mood, hmm-hmm
She was in my arms, hmm-hmm
Love was in her eyes, hmm-hmm
I tried a soft caress
She answered, “Yes”, I must confess
That she was in the mood, hmm-hmm
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, hmm-hmm
To see his daughter wooed, hmm-hmm
The preacher said, “Do you?”
She said, “I do,” and I did too
‘Cause I was in the mood, hmm-hmm
