Folks, now 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 a big as a whale
Ho de ho de ho (Ho de ho de ho)
Hi de hi de hi (Hi de hi de hi)
Hee de hee de hee (Hee de hee de hee)
Ho de ho de ho (Ho de ho de ho)
Now, she messed around with a bloke named Smokey
He loved her, though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick the gong around
(Showed her how to kick the gong around)
Ho de ho (Ho de ho)
Hi de hi (Hi de hi)
Whoa de whee whoa (Whoa de whee whoa)
Ho de ho de ho (Ho de ho de ho)
She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
He gave her a home made of gold and steel
And a diamond car with a platinum wheel
Ho de whoo de way (Ho de whoo de way)
Oh, Minnie (Oh, Minnie)
Hey, hey (Hey, hey)
Ho de ho de ho (Ho de ho de ho)
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 'em out a million times
Ho de ho de ho (Ho de ho de ho)
Hi de hi de hi (Hi de hi de hi)
Hee de hee de hee (Hee de hee de hee)
Ho de ho de ho (Ho de ho de ho)
