Jump into my rocket
'Cause I'm ready to blast
I don't know where I'm goin'
But I'm goin' there fast
Tonight there ain't no future
And there isn't a past
We'll make it like the first time
So it won't be the last
All I wanna do
Is everything that you ask
Don't you know
I'm really getting in the mood
Got the jitter fingers
And they're ready to pop
When I get to groovin'
Ain't no way I can stop
Baby when we get there
Then the joint is gonna hop
Got to ride the feelin',
Baby straight to the top
You gotta make my heart start
Beatin' flippity-flop
Baby can't you tell
I'm getting in the mood
In the mood
The joint is jumpin'
In the groove
We're onto somethin'
In the mood
The band is pumpin'
Swingin' and a swayin'
And a rock and rollin'
Come on now
We're gonna party
I know how
To get it started
In the mood
I'm good to boogie
Blow that jivin' music now
When the party's over
I just know where to go
Where after hours people
Boogie you know
I wanna hang a while
Where the lights are real low
Whisper to my baby
And be takin' it slow
And baby if you're ready
Then I'm ready to blow
Baby, now I'm really getting
In the mood
I'm in the mood
The joint is jumpin'
In the groove
We're onto somethin'
In the mood
The band is pumpin'
Swingin' and a swayin'
And a rock and rollin'
Come on now
We're gonna party
I know how
To get it started
In the mood
I'm good to boogie
Blow that jivin' music now
---- Big King Fun ----
I got all my best friends
And my favorite shoes
Now it's my time to play
Got no love for the blues
Understand what I'm sayin'
Oh, you better get back
Got no time to waste
'cause I'm one hep cat.
And when I'm start work it
I cruise like Dynaflow
And when I'm in the mood
I spread it all around
I might be the man
"One hit party?" on the run
And when you see me comin'
Just call me Big King fun
----- Big King Fun -----
When the party's over
I just know where to go
Where after hours people
Boogie you know
I wanna hang a while
Where the lights are real low
Whisper to my baby
And be takin' it slow
And baby if you're ready
Then I'm ready to blow
I'm in the mood
The joint is jumpin'
In the groove
We're onto somethin'
In the mood
The band is pumpin'
Swingin' and a swayin'
And a rock and rollin'
Come on now
We're gonna party
I know how
To get it started
In the mood
I'm good to boogie
Blow that jivin' music now
Gettin' in the Mooooooooddddd
