Scarecrow and a yellow moon
And a roadhouse on the edge of town
Hear that midnight rooster crow
Well I'll have one more before I goBut honey, don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonightThe night is cool beneath the stars
Ridin' home in John's old car
Got my head out in the wind
Here I am drunked up againBut honey, don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonightMe and John in a pickup truck
Bottle of gin and a paper cup
Runnin' wild and livin' hard
I passed out in our front yardBut honey, don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonightThe moon is high, the sun is down
honey came out in her night gown
On the porch at a quarter to three
Talkin' to the deputy sheriff and meBut honey, don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonightI said, honey, don't turn out the light
'Cause I think Im in the mood for love tonight
I said honey, don't turn out the light
'Cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight
