Lyrics

Folks, here's a story about Minnie the Moocher She was a real live hoochie-koocher She was the roughest, toughest frail But Minnie had a heart as big as a wha-a-le Hidee-hidee-hidee-hi() Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho() Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee () Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho() She hung around with a bloke named Smoky She loved him though he was cokey He took her down to Chinatown Where he showed her how to kick the gong around () Hidee-hidee-hidee-hi() Wooooooh() Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee () Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho() She had a dream about the King of Sweden He gave her things that she was needin' A palace home built of gold and steel A diamond car with platinum wheels Hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hi() Hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-ho() Scoodley-woo-scoodley-woo-scoodley-woodley-woodley-woo() Zit-dit-dit-dit-dittle-but-dut-duttleoo-skit-dit-skittle-but-dit-zoy() 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 a million times Hidee-hidee-hidee-hi() Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho() Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee () Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho() Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
