Minnie The Moocha Lyrics

Hey folk's here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher 

 She was a lowdown hoochie-coocher

 She was the roughest, toughest frail 

 But Minnie had a heart a big as a whale 

 

 (hidey-hi's!) 

 

 She messed around with a bloke named Smokey 

 She loved him, though he was coke-y 

 He took her down to Chinatown 

 And he showed her how to kick the gong around 

 

 (hidey-hi's!) 

 

 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 

 

 (fast hidey-hi's!) 

 

 He gave her a townhouse and his racing horses 

 Each meal she ate was a dozen courses 

 Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes 

 She sat around and counted them a million times 

 

 (hidey-hi's, one mo' 'gain!) 

 

 poor min, poor min, poor min!
