Minnie the Moocher

Music and lyrics: Cab Calloway - Irving Mills

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.

Hide hide hide hi
Hide hide hide hi
Hode hode hode ho
Hode hode hode ho
Hede hede hede he
Hede hede hede he
Hide hide hide ho
Hide hide hide ho

She messed around with a bloke named Smokie.
She loved him thoughhe was Cokey,
he took her down to Chinatown
and he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Hide hide hide hi
Hide hide hide hi
Whoah
Whoah
Hede hede hede he
Hede hede hede he
Hide hide hide ho
Hide hide hide 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 apalat'num wheels.

A hide hide hide hide hide hide hi
Hide hide hide hide hide hide hi
Hode hode hode hode hode hode ho
Hode hode hode hode hode hode ho
Skudelewoo skudelewoo skudelewoo delewoo delewoo
Skudelewoo skudelewoo skudelewoo delewoo delewoo
Zidididi dudaloo wudu dudaloo Skydibidalou Budazoy
Zidididi dudaloo wudu dudaloo Skydibidalou Budazoy

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
eache meal she ate was a dozen courses,
had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,
set around and counted them all a million times.

Hide hide hide hi
Hide hide hide hi
Hode hode hode ho
Hode hode hode ho
Hede hede hede he
Hede hede hede he
Hide hide hide ho
Hide hide hide ho

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.
