Minnie The Moocher (02-02-42) - 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

Hidey hidey hidey hi

Whao ohh ohh ohh oh

(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)

Heedey heedey heedey hee

(Heedey heedey heedey hee)

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey

She loved him though he was kokey

He took her down to Chinatown and showed her

How to kick the gong around

Hidey hidey hidey hi

(Hidey hidey hidey hi)

Whao ohh ohh ohh 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 the platinum wheels

Hidey hidey hidey hi

(Hidey hidey hidey hi)

Hode hode hode hode ho

(Hode hode hode hode ho)

He gave her his town house and his racing horses

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses

She had a million dollars in nickels and dimes

She sat around and counted it all, a million times

Hidey hidey hidey hi

(Hidey hidey hidey hi)

Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
