Cab Calloway Minnie The Moocher`s Wedding Day Lyrics

Minnie The Moocher`s Wedding Day Lyrics

Here's some news that'll get you, 

It's made to order for you. 

I just bet it'll fit you, 

Follow up these red hot blues. 



Grab a taxi and go down, 

Chinatown's on a spree; 

Let me give you the lowdown, 

This is really history. 



Whenever folks in Chinatown start acting gay 

There's something in the air that makes them feel that way. 

Yeah, man, I heard somebody say 

It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day! 



Old Smoky Joe's so happy he can hardly wait, 

He's spent a million dollars for his wedding date, 

Yeah, man, they're gonna celebrate, 

It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day. 



You better come on down, 

Way down in Chinatown, 

Oh, let me take you down 

To see them kick the gong around. 



A million cokies shouting, "Hay-de-hay-de-hay!" 

The king of Sweden's gonna give the bride away, 

Yeah, man, I heard somebody say, 

It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day! 



The king and queen of every nation 

Were glad to get an invitation; 

The prince of Wales said he would get away 

For Minnie the Moocher's wedding day! 



They said a hundred thousand hoppies 

Went over to China picking poppies, 

They're gonna put them all in one bouquet 

For Minnie the Moocher's wedding day! 



Hi-de-hi-de-hi, 

Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho! 

Hay-de-hay-de-hay, 

It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day! 



Yeah, man! Why, what's that them boys say? 

It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day!
