Minnie The Moocher

Cab Calloway Cab Calloway

Folks, now here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!
He-de-he-de-he-de-he!
Ho-de-ho-de-ho!

Now, she messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokie
He took her down to Chinatown
He showed her how to kick the gong around

Now, 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 a platinum wheel

Now, 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
And she sat around and counted them all a billion times

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
