Minnie the Moocher
She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
Now Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
She messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him, though, he was cokie
Now, he took her down to Chinatown
When he showed her how to kick the gong around
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Now, she had a dream about the King from Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
Now, he built her home of gold and steel
And a diamond car with platinum wheel
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ra-ta
Bu-ri-bu-bu-bu-ri-ra-bu
Bu-ri-bu-ri-bu-ri-gi-ra
Do-do-do-do-do-do
Na-na-na-na-na-na
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
Now, she had a million dollars in nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted one million times
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi)
Oh-oh (oh-oh)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
