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 de ho de ho de ho
Hi de hi de hi de hi
Hee de hee de hee de hee
Ho oo waooo waoooo
Now, he messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was kokey
He took her down to China town and showed her
How to kick the gong around
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-whooooaaaa-ahhhh-ohh
He-de-he-de-hee-de-he
Ho-oh-ho-oh
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 puh-latinum wheels
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-oh
He gave her his town house and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars in nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted it all, a million times
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-oh-whoaa-oh-oh-whoa
Ho-oh-whoaa-oh-oh-whoa
Poor Min! Poor Min! Poo-oor Min
