Minnie The Moocher - Calloway, Mills

Folks, here’s a story about Minnie the Moocher

She was a real live hoochie-koocher

She was the roughest, toughest frail

But Minnie had a heart as big as a wha-a-le

Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-hi

Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho

Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee

Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho

She hung around with a bloke named Smoky

She loved him though he was cokey

He took her down to Chinatown

Where he showed her how to kick the gong around ()

Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-hi

Wooooooh

Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee

Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho

She had a dream about the King of Sweden

He gave her things that she was needin'

A palace home built of gold and steel

A diamond car with platinum wheels

Hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hidee-hi

Hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-hodee-ho

Scoodley-woo-scoodley-woo-scoodley-woodley-woodley-woo

Zit-dit-dit-dit-dittle-but-dut-duttleoo-skit-dit-skittle-but-dit-zoy

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 a million times

Hidee-Hidee-Hidee-hi

Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho

Heedey-hee-dee-hee-dee hee

Hidee-hidee-hidee-ho
