When I’m in the Mood for Love Songtext
von Allan Sherman

When I′m in the mood for love
You're in the mood for herring
When I′m in the mood for herring
You're in the mood for love

Love is a fragile thing
Delicate and elusive
Herring is not conducive
When I'm in the mood for love


Why stop to think of herring?
Let′s let our passion flower
Then, darling, if you′re still caring
You can have herring, in half an hour

(That's the bitter laughter of
Married people that you′re hearing now.)

Herring can always wait
Herring does not mind waiting
Meanwhile, I'm marinating!
I′m in the mood for love!
