Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Folks 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 as big as a whale
[Verse 2]
Ho dee ho dee ho dee ho (Ho dee ho dee ho dee ho)
Ho dee hi dee hi dee hi (Ho dee hi dee hi dee hi)
He dee he dee he dee he (He dee he dee he dee he)
Ho-oh (Ho-oh)
[Verse 3]
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was a tad cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
[Verse 4]
And showed her how to kick that gong around'
Hi dee hi dee hi dee hi (Hi dee hi dee hi dee hi)
Whoa E-O, E-O, E-O (Whoa E-O, E-O, E-O)
Hi dee hi dee hi dee hi (Hi dee hi dee hi dee hi)
Yeah-oh-whap (Yeah-oh-whap)
[Verse 5]
She had a dream about the king of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needing
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with them platinum wheels
[Verse 6]
Hi dee hi dee hi dee hi (Hi dee hi dee hi dee hi)
Ho dee ho dee ho dee ho (Ho dee ho dee ho dee ho)
Whoa (Whoa)
Yah (Yah)
Ya-ha-ha-ha (Ya-ha-ha-hah)
Oh-ho-ho-ho (Oh-ho-ho-ho)
[Verse 7]
He gave her a townhouse and his racing horse
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
He had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She set around and counted 'em a million times
[Verse 8]
Hi dee hi dee hi dee hi (Hi dee hi dee hi dee hi)
Ho-oh-oh (Ho-oh-oh)
He dee he dee he dee he (He dee he dee he dee he)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 9]
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Minnie
