Lyrics

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 Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho-ho-ho) Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee (hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee) Hey-ey-ey (hey-ey-ey) She messed around with a bloke named Smokey She loved him though he was kokey He took her down to Chinatown And he showed her how to kick the gong around Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho-ho-ho) Hey-ey-ey (hey-ey-ey) Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho-ho-ho) 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 platinum wheels Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-di-ho-di-ho-di-oh (ho-di-ho-di-ho-di-oh) Skip-a-bibby-goop-a-bibby-give-a-bibby, bubly-bop (Skip-a-bibby-goop-a-bibby-give-a-bibby, bubly-bop) Ah-brr-iggy, brr-iggy, brr-iggy, haw (ah-brr-iggy, brr-iggy, brr-iggy, haw) He gave her his 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 all a million times Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi) Oooh (ooh) Hey-ey-ey (hey-ey-ey) Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh) Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
