Lyrics

Folks, here's the story of Minnie the moocher She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher She was the roughest, toughest frail Now Minnie had a heart as big as a whale Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi) Oh-oh (oh-oh) Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho) He-de-he-de-he-de-he (he-de-he-de-he-de-he) She messed around with a bloke named Smoky She loved him, though, he was cokie Now, he took her down to Chinatown When he showed her how to kick the gong around Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi) Oh-oh (oh-oh) Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho) He-de-he-de-he-de-he (he-de-he-de-he-de-he) Now, she had a dream about the king from Sweden He gave her things that she was needin' Now, he built her home of gold and steel And a diamond car with platinum wheel Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta Bu-ri-bu-bu-bu-ri-ra-bu Bu-ri-bu-ri-bu-ri-gi-ra Do-do-do-do-do-do Na-na-na-na-na-na Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses Each meal she ate was a dozen courses Now, she had a million dollars in nickels and dimes She sat around and counted one million times Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi) Oh-oh (oh-oh) Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho) He-de-he-de-he-de-he (he-de-he-de-he-de-he) Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
