Cab Calloway Minnie The Moocher Lyrics

Minnie The Moocher Lyrics

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

she was a red hot 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'

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

she 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!
