Cab Calloway Minnie The Moocha Lyrics

Minnie The Moocha Lyrics

Hey folk's here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher 

She was a lowdown hoochie-coocher

She was the roughest, toughest frail 

But Minnie had a heart a big as a whale 



(hidey-hi's!) 



She messed around with a bloke named Smokey 

She loved him, though he was coke-y 

He took her down to Chinatown 

And he showed her how to kick the gong around 



(hidey-hi's!) 



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 



(fast hidey-hi's!) 



He gave her a townhouse and his racing horses 

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses 

Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes 

She sat around and counted them a million times 



(hidey-hi's, one mo' 'gain!) 



poor min, poor min, poor min!
