Intro : (3x)
Folks, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,
She was a low-down hoochi e-cootcher,
She was the roughest, toughest frail,
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.
Hi-de- hi-de-hi-di-hi ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi !)
Ho-de- ho-de-ho-de-ho ! (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho !)
He-de- he-de-he-de-he ! (He-de-he-de-he-de-he !)
Hi-de- hi-de-hi-de-ho ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho !)
She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,
She loved him though he wa s cokie,
He took her down to Chinatown,
And he showed her how to kick the gong around.
Hi-de- hi-de-hi-di-hi ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi !)
Whoooooaaaaah ! (Whoooooaaaaah !)
He-de- he-de-he-de-he ! (He-de-he-de-he-de-he !)
Hi-de- hi-de-hi-de-ho ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho !)
She had a dream about the king of Sweden,
He gave her things that she wa s needin',
He gave her a home built of gold and steel,
(Double time feel)
A diamond car with a platinu m wheel.
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi !
(Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi !)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho !
(Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-hi !)
...
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
Each meal she ate was a doze n courses;
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,
She sat around and counted them all a millio n times.
Hi-de- hi-de-hi-di-hi ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi !)
Ho-de- ho-de-ho-de-ho ! (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho !)
He-de- he-de-he-de-he ! (He-de-he-de-he-de-he !)
Hi-de- hi-de-hi-de-ho ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho !)
Poor Min,
Poor Min,
Poor Min.
