I'M In the Mood For Food
I’m in the mood for food
since I began this diet!
And if you too would try it,
you would be craving food!
Eating at a buffet
surely would send me reeling.
Oh, for that blissful feeling!
I’m in the mood for food.
Bridge:
Asking myself if ever
pizza could be my friend?
Good sense though tells me never.
Salads and fruit! They never end.
With my bad attitude,
I’ll never learn my lesson.
Always I’ll be confessin’
I’m in the mood for food!
Written Oct. 9, 2016 for John Hamilton's "Write me a song" Poetry Contest
Sing to the tune of "I’m in the Mood for Love" written by Eddie Jefferson, a tune sung by over fifty artists (see lyrics below)
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.
Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?
(Bridge)
Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!
If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love
