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-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho-ho-ho)
Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee (hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was kokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ooooohhhhhh (ooooohhhhhh)
Hidi-hidi-hidi-hidi (Hidi-hidi-hidi-hidi)
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho (ho-ho-ho-ho-ho)
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
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-di-ho-di-ho-di-oh (ho-di-ho-di-ho-di-oh)
Skip-a-bibby-goop-a-bibby-give-a-bibby, bubly-bop
(Skip-a-bibby-goop-a-bibby-give-a-bibby, bubly-bop)
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-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Zabo-zabo-zabaway (Zabo-zabo-zabaway)
Hidi-hidi-hidi-hidi (Hidi-hidi-hidi-hidi)
Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
