1. IN THE MOOD * GLENN MILLER  Joseph Matthews "Wingy" Manone
--------------------------
Mr. Whatchacallim, whatcha doin' tonight?
Hope you're in the mood, because I'm feelin' just right!
How's about a corner with a table for two
Where the music's mellow in some gay rendez-vouz
There's no chance romancin' with a blue attitude!
You've got to do some dancin' to get in the mood!

2. Bye bye blackbird * Dixon / Henderson
--------------------------------------
Pack up all my care and woe,
Here I go, singin' low:
Bye bye blackbird.
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar sweet, so is he,
Bye bye blackbird.

4. STRING OF PEARLS  composed by Jerry Gray with lyrics by Eddie DeLange
GLENN MILLER

Baby, here's a five-and-dime
Baby, now's about the time
For a string of pearls à la Woolworth

Every pearl's a star above
Wrapped in dreams, and filled with love
That old string of pearls à la Woolworth

5. Take the A Train  Billy Strayhorn / Joya Sherrill
Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald

You must take the 'A' train
To go Sugar Hill 'way up in Harlem
If you miss the 'A' train
You'll find you've missed the quickest way to Harlem

We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.

Put your glad rags on and join me hom'

we're gonna rock around the clock tonight
we're gonna rock rock rock 'til broad daylight
we're gonna rock gonna rock around the clock tonight.

7. BLUE SUEDE SHOES * CARL PERKINS
-------------------------------

Well, it's one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go!
But don't you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything, but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

8. See You Later Alligator  * Bobby Charles
 Bill Haley
--------------------------------------

See you later alligator, after while crocodile
See you later alligator, after while crocodile
Can't you see you're in my way now,
Don't you know you cramp my style

9. CHATTANOOGA-CHOO-CHOO   Harry Warren / Mack Gordon

There's gonna be
A certain party at the station
Satin and lace
I used to call "funny face"
She's gonna cry
Until I tell her that I'll never roam
So Chattanooga choo choo
Won't you choo-choo me home?

IN THE MOOD

Sister Whatchacallim that's a timely idea!
Something swing-a-dilla would be good to my ear!
Everybody must agree that dancin' has charms
When you have that certain one you love in your arms!
Steppin' out with you will be a sweet interlude!
Oh build'er up for that would put me in the mood!
