(CALLOWAY, CAB/GASKILL, CLARENCE/MILLS, IRVING)

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.

Ho-dee ho-dee ho

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Hey-dee hey

Whoah

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey.

She loved him though was cokie,

He took her down to Chinatown

And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Hey-dee hey-dee hey

Oy yoi yoi yoi yoi yoi

Ay yi yi yi yi yi-oh

Whoah

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 wheel.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey-dee hey

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-dee hi-dee hi

Whoah

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.
