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
Hi de hi de hi de hi Ho de ho de ho de ho Hee de hee de hee de hee Hi de hi de hi de ho
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey She loved him though he was cokey He took her down to Chinatown and showed her How to kick the gong around
Hi de hi de hi de hi Whoa Hee de hee de hee de hee Hi de hi de hi de ho
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 wheels
He gave her his town house 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 de hi de hi de hi Ho de ho de ho de ho Hee de hee de hee de hee Hi de hi de hi de ho
