Verse 1

Folks, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,

She was a low-down hoochie-cootcher,

She was the roughest, toughest frail,

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Chorus

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!)

Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho! (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!)

He-de-he-de-he-de-he! (He-de-he-de-he-de-he!)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho!)

Verse 2

She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,

She loved him though he was cokie,

He took her down to Chinatown,

And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Chorus

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!)

Whoooooaaaaah! (Whoooooaaaaah!)

He-de-he-de-he-de-he! (He-de-he-de-he-de-he!)

Verse 3

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,

(Double time feel)

A diamond car with a platinum wheel.

Verse 4

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.
