Minnie The Moocher Lyrics - Bobby Darin

Now here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher 

She was a lowdown hoochie coocher 

She was the roughest and the toughest frail 

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale 

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey 

Hedee, hedee he 

Hodee, hodee ho 

She had a dream about the king of Sweden 

He gave her everything that she was needin' 

He gave her a home built of golden steel 

A platinum car with diamond wheels 

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey 

Hedee, hedee he 

Hodee, hodee ho 

Now Minnie and Smokey, they started shaggin' 

They got a free ride in a wagon 

She gave him money to pay her bail 

But don't you know he went and left her in the jail 

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey 

Hedee, hedee he 

Hodee, hodee ho 

Oh, Minnie met old Deacon Lowdown 

He preached to her that she oughta slowdown 

But Minnie just stood and rock and rolled 

And Deacon Lowdown, please save my soul 

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey 

Hedee, hedee he 

Hodee, hodee ho 

They took her where they put the bad ladies 

And now Minnie is pushin' up daises 

You heard my story, now this ends my song 

She's a good gail but they done her wrong 

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey 

Hedee, hedee he 

Hodee, hodee ho
