In The Mood Lyrics

Aw, hey now, baby,
Well, I like your smile
Won't you come and talk to me
For a little while

Well, you're making me crazy
The way you roll them eyes
Won't you come and sit with me
I'll tell you all my lies

Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm In The Mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move

Well, hey now, baby
Don't you talk so fast
I'm just trying to make these good times,
I'm trying to make it last

Every thing's getting hazy
Now honey, where'd you go?
I just want to find out, baby
Where'd you learn what you know?

Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move

Well, hey now, baby
Said, I like your style
You really got me, baby
Way down deep inside

Oh, you drive me crazy
Baby, you're the one
I just want to rock-and-roll you woman
Until the night is gone

Hey baby, it's a quarter to eight
I feel I'm in the mood
Hey baby, the hour is late
I feel I've got to move

In The Mood

This is one of the few Rush songs to use the term "Rock 'n' Roll" in the lyrics. In this song, the band used the term as it was originally intended, as a synonym for sexual intercourse. (thanks, Jeff - Haltom City, TX)

This is one of very few Rush songs that even vaguely resembles a love song. Most Rush songs are much more cerebral. (thanks, Kent - Pittsfield, IL)

Bassist/singer Geddy Lee told Billboard magazine in April 2013 that this was the first song he wrote with guitarist Alex Lifeson, that they "kind of liked."

This was the first Rush song Geddy Lee heard being played on the radio. He recalled to Billboard hearing it on CHUM FM in Toronto. "I was at home. The album came out and we got all our friends and family to keep calling radio stations requesting our songs and we waited to see if someone would play it, and finally they did. I was really excited. Kind of an unreal experience."
