Minnie The Moocher Lyrics - Singles - Cab Calloway

Folks, 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 as big as a whale 

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi) 

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah) 

Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee) 

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y) 

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey 

She loved him though was cokey 

He took her down to Chinatown 

And he showed her how to kick the gong around 

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi) 

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah) 

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y) 

Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh) 

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 a p-la-ti-num wheel 

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi) 

Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho) 

Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh (skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh) 

Bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh (bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh) 

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 them all a million times 

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi) 

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah) 

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y) 

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah) 

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
