about

I'd first heard "Moody's Mood" sung by George Benson and adored it - and have adored it and him ever since. "Moody's Mood" is a James Moody bop sax solo that Eddie Jefferson set to lyrics. Many may not realize that the tune James was soloing for was the jazz standard "I'm In the Mood For Love". So we decided to do almost a mash up of both songs, which in fact, are really the same song. Get it?! We began with the first verse of "I'm In the Mood For Love" then launched right into the head of Moody's Mood. It made sense to end with the last verse of "I'm In the Mood For Love" just to come full circle. Voila! All the same chord changes.

lyrics

I'm In The Mood For Love/Moody's Mood

I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me
Funny but when you're near me
I'm in the mood, for love...

There I go there I go there I go, there I go
Pretty baby you are the soul that snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time I'm near you
I never can behave
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
Music all around me
Crazy music, music that keeps

Calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave
Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything baby just let me get next to you
Well am I insane, or do I really see
Heaven in your eyes
Bright as the stars that shine up above you
In the clear blue skies

How I worry 'bout you
Just can't live my life without you baby come here
DOn't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?

So tell me why stop to think about this weather my dear?
This little dream might fade away
Oh there I go talking out of my head again

Oh won't you come and put our two hearts together,
That'd make me strong and brave
Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid,

Cause if there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let it rain, I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you and get a release from this awful misery?

- SOLO -

If there's a cloud up above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it...
I'm so crazy about love
Never knowing when love's all around
you can blow now if you want to we're through...
