Folks, now here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Now, she messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokie
He took her down to Chinatown
He showed her how to kick the gong around
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Whoa-a-a-a-ah
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Now, 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 a platinum wheel
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho
Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh
Bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh
Now, 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
And she sat around and counted them all a billion times
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Whoa-a-a-a-ah
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y
Whoa-a-a-a-ah
