I am looking for a vocal recording of Glenn Miller's "In the Mood" that features the following lyrics:
"Who’s the lovin' daddy with the beautiful eyes? // What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size." (I will attach the full lyrics in the photo)

Confirmation of the existence of these lyrics can be found in the official archive of the US Library of Congress (https://www.loc.gov/static/programs/national-recording-preservation-board/documents/in%20the%20mood%20essay.pdf), among other unofficial sources. It states that this version was recorded in two variations:
- The Four King Sisters (released on the RCA Records label in November 1939)
- Paula Kelly & Al Donahue and his Orchestra (released on the Vocalion / Columbia label in 1939)

On the Discogs website, I found Paula Kelly's record (https://www.discogs.com/ru/release/8145631-Al-Donahue-And-His-Orchestra-In-The-Mood-Can-I-Help-It) with an attached link to listen to it, but it features the lyrics written for The Andrews Sisters (I also found separate videos on YouTube, but there are no vocals at all there). A similar situation occurs with The Four King Sisters – I found the record on the same website (https://www.discogs.com/ru/release/4062267-The-Four-King-Sisters-In-The-Mood-Irish-Washerwoman), but unfortunately, there is no option to listen to it there, and their version on YouTube also contains The Andrews Sisters' lyrics.
I have found numerous other vocal versions, but none of them were right.

I would love to find the correct version with these lyrics by either The Four King Sisters or Paula Kelly. However, I would also be happy with covers by other artists!
I would really appreciate any information or leads that could help!

I am looking for a vocal recording of Glenn Miller's "In the Mood" that features the following lyrics:

"Who’s the lovin' daddy with the beautiful eyes? // What a pair o' lips, I'd like to try 'em for size."

I have searched extensively on YouTube, TikTok, and Google, but I've only found instrumental versions or standard lyrics from The Andrews Sisters. I am specifically looking for the version containing the word "daddy" (not "baby" or "dolly," which appear in other variations)

Some sources, including YouTube Music, credit this version to Jerry Lee Lewis. However, the track labeled as 'In the Mood' on his profile only features the instrumental version, with no vocals at all

The lyrics I am looking for are referenced in several fan archives, such as the Fallout Fandom Wiki and various other lyrics websites (e.g. http://textarkivet.atspace.cc/mood.htm, https://www.letras.com/glenn-miller-orchestra/73115/);;

I found a cover by The Puppini Sisters, but their version uses "body percussion" instead of the iconic swing instrumentation, and the lyrics are slightly altered

I’m left wondering: is this a 'lost' recording that actually exists, or just an unrecorded lyrical adaptation? I’d really appreciate any information or leads to help me clarify this
