You can find the song if you only know parts of the song's lyrics. So there is this I recently heard on a very old TV show (Hunter) and one of the songs featured has caught my ears. The lyrics go something like.
In The Mood By Andrews Sisters. 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! In the mood! That's it! I got it! In the mood! Your ear will spot it! In the mood! Oh what a hot hit! Be alive And get the jive You've got to learn how! Hep-hep-hep! Hep like a hepper!
I've hunted all over To find myself a mate. Each girl seemed such a disappointment It was just a trick of fate. I found then a blossom A girl of long ago. See if you can guess dear- This girl that I love so. You're just a flower from an old bouquet I've waited patiently for you, each day. You're just a dream come true, I know, dear My dream, wonderful dreams of you I'll build a home-nest full of love for you Far from the world away. There in our sweetheart bower You're just my flower From an old bouquet
