Lyrics

Folks here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher, She was a red hot hoochie coocher, She was the roughest, toughest frail, But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale. Ho-dee ho-dee ho Ho-dee ho-dee ho Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi Hey-dee hey Hey-dee hey Whoah Whoah She messed around with a bloke named Smokey. She loved him though was cokie, He took her down to Chinatown And he showed her how to kick the gong around. Hey-dee hey-dee hey Hey-dee hey-dee hey Oy yoi yoi yoi yoi yoi Oy yoi yoi yoi yoi yoi Ay yi yi yi yi yi-oh Ay yi yi yi yi yi-oh Whoah Whoah She had a dream about the King of Sweden, He gave her things that she was needin', He gave her a home built of gold and steel, A diamond car with the platinum wheel. Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi Hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey Hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses, Each meal she ate was a dozen courses, She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes, She sat around and counted them all a million times. Hi-dee hi-dee hi Hi-dee hi-dee hi Whoah Whoah Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.
