Cab Calloway And His Orchestra - Minnie The Moocher lyrics

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 ho de ho de ho de ho
Hee de hee de hee de hee
Hi de hi de hi de ho

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown and showed her
How to kick the gong around

Hi de hi de hi de hi whoa
Hee de hee de hee de hee
Hi de hi de hi de 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-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de oh
Skeedle-a booka-diki biki skeedly
Beeka gookity woop!
A booriki booriki booriki hoy!

He gave her his town house
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 ho de ho de ho de ho
Hee de hee de hee de hee
Hi de hi de hi de ho

Poor Min poor Min
Poor Min
