Minnie the Moocher lyrics
by Cab Calloway
folk's here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moochershe was a red hot hoochie coochershe was the roughest, toughest frailbut Minnie had a heart a big as a whale(hidey-hi's!)she messed around with a bloke named Smokeyshe loved him, though he was coke-yhe took her down to Chinatownand he showed her how to kick the gong around(hidey-hi's!)she had a dream about the King of Swedenhe gave her things that she was needin'gave her a home built of gold and steela diamond car, with the platinum wheels(fast hidey-hi's!)he gave her a townhouse and his racing horseseach meal she ate was a dozen coursesshe had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimesshe sat around and counted them a million times(hidey-hi's, one mo' 'gain!)poor min, poor min, poor min!
