Folks, here's the story about Minnie the Moocher
She was a real hot hoochie-koocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hodee, hodee, hodee, ho
Heedey, hee-dee, hee-dee, hee
Hidee, hidee, hidee, ho
Ooh

She messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was a tad cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
Where he showed her how to kick the gong around

Hidee, hidee, hidee, hi
Wooh
Heedey, hee-dee, hee-dee, hee
Ahooyop

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 platinum wheels

Hidee, hidee, hidee, hidee, hidee, hidee, hi
Hodee, hodee, hodee, hodee, hodee, hodee, ho
Uoh, woo
Uoh, ho, ho

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
He had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times

Hidee, hidee, hidee, hi
Uoh, uou
Heedey, hee-dee, hee-dee, hee
Uoh, uou, uou, uou

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
