Minnie The Moocher - Mono - Danny Kaye

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.

Ho-dee ho-dee ho Ho-dee ho-dee ho Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi Hey-dee hey

Hey-dee hey

Whoah

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey.

She loved him though was cokie,

he took her down to Chinatown

and he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Hey-dee hey-dee hey

Oy yoi yoi yoi yoi yoi

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 wheel.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi Hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey

Hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey

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 Hi-dee hi-dee hi Whoah

Whoah

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.
