Minnie the moocher
Folk's here's the story 'bout minnie the moocher
She was a red hot hoochie coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But minnie had a heart a big as a whale
(hidey-hi's!)
She messed around with a bloke named smokey
She loved him, though he was coke-y
He took her down to chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around
(hidey-hi's!)
She had a dream about the king of sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
Gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car, with the platinum wheels
(fast hidey-hi's!)
He gave her a townhouse 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 a million times
(hidey-hi's, one mo' 'gain!)
Poor min, poor min, poor min!
