Folks here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher; she was a red hot hoochie
coocher.
Hi de hi de hi de hi
She was the roughest toughest frail; but Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.
Ho de ho de ho de ho
Hee de hee de hee de hee
Ho oo waooo waoooo
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey; She loved him though he was kokey.
He took her down to Chinatown and showed her how to kick the gong around.
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
He-de-he-de-hee-de-he
Ho-whooooaaaa-ahhhh-ohh
Ho-oh-ho-oh
She had a dream about the king of Sweden; he gave her things, that she was

He gave her a home built of gold and steel, a diamond car, with the puh-latinum
needin'.

She had a million dollars in nickels and dimes; she sat around and counted it
He gave her his town house and his racing horses; each meal she ate was a dozen
all, a million times.
Ho-oh-whoaa-oh-oh-whoa
He-de-he-de-hee-de-hee
Poor Min! Poor Min! Poo-oor Min
