Minnie the Moocher

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hey folks, here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher She was a low-down hoochie-coocher She was the roughest toughest frail But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale [Chorus] Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho) Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee (Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee) Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho) [Verse 2] She messed around with a bloke named Smokey She loved him though he was cokey He took her down to Chinatown And he showed her how to kick the gong around [Chorus] Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi) Whoooaaa-ahh (Whoooaaa-ahh) He-de-he-de-hee-de-he (He-de-he-de-hee-de-he) A-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho) [Verse 3] 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 puh-latinum wheels [Chorus] 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-oh (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-oh) Skoodly-woo, skoodly-woo, skoodly-woodly-woodly-woo (Skoodly-woo, skoodly-woo, skoodly-woodly-woodly-woo) Skib-dib-dib-dib-dip-budaroo, skib-dip-daroo, dub-da-doy (Skib-dib-dib-dib-dip-budaroo, skib-dip-daroo, dub-da-doy) [Verse 4] He gave her his 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 all a million times [Chorus] Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi) Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho) Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee (Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee) Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho) [Outro] Poor Min! Poor Min! Poor Min
