Minnie the Moocher - Remastered

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
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Heedey heedey heedey hee
(Heedey heedey heedey hee)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh)
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was kokey
He took her down to Chinatown and showed her
How to kick the gong around
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
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
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Hode hode hode hode ho
(Hode hode hode hode ho)
Skee a biki booka a biki skeedly beeka gookity woop!
Skee a biki booka a biki skeedly beeka gookity woop!
A-booriki-booriki-booriki hoy!
(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 in nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted it all, a million times
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Poor Min!
Poor Min!
Poor Min!

Minnie la Mouche - Remastered

Mon petit, voici l'histoire de Minnie la Mouche
Elle était une danseuse de hoochie coocher brûlante
Elle était la plus rude, la plus coriace des femmes
Mais Minnie avait un cœur aussi gros qu'une baleine
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Heedey heedey heedey hee
(Heedey heedey heedey hee)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh)
Elle traînait avec un type nommé Smokey
Elle l'aimait même s'il était un peu bizarre
Il l'a emmenée à Chinatown et lui a montré
Comment faire vibrer le gong
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Elle a fait un rêve sur le roi de Suède
Il lui a donné des choses, dont elle avait besoin
Il lui a donné une maison construite en or et en acier
Une voiture en diamant, avec des roues en platine
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Hode hode hode hode ho
(Hode hode hode hode ho)
Skee a biki booka a biki skeedly beeka gookity woop!
Skee a biki booka a biki skeedly beeka gookity woop!

(A-booriki-booriki-booriki hoy!)
Il lui a donné sa maison de ville et ses chevaux de course
Chaque repas qu'elle mangeait comptait une douzaine de plats
Elle avait un million de dollars en nickels et en dimes
Elle s'est assise et a compté tout ça, un million de fois
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh

Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
