Minnie the Moocher

Folks, here's the story of Minnie the moocher

She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher

She was the roughest, toughest frail

Now Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi)

Oh-oh (oh-oh)

Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)

She messed around with a bloke named Smoky

She loved him, though, he was cokie

Now, he took her down to Chinatown

When he showed her how to kick the gong around

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi)

Oh-oh (oh-oh)

Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)

Now, she had a dream about the King from Sweden

He gave her things that she was needin'

Now, he built her home of gold and steel

And a diamond car with platinum wheel

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta

Bu-ri-bu-bu-bu-ri-ra-bu

Bu-ri-bu-ri-bu-ri-gi-ra

Do-do-do-do-do-do

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses

Now, she had a million dollars in nickels and dimes

She sat around and counted one million times

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi)

Oh-oh (oh-oh)

Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
