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 that gong around



(hidey-hi's!)



She had a dream about the King of Sweden

He gave her things that she was needin'

He built her a house of gold and steel

A diamond car with platinum wheels



(fast hidey-hi's!)



He gave her his townhouse and racing horses

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses

Had a million dollars in nickels and dimes

And she sat around and counted 'em all a million times

(hidey-hi's, one mo' 'gain!)



Now Min and Smokey they started jaggin'

They got a free ride in a wagon

She gave him money to pay her bail

But he left her flat in the county jail



(ominous sounding hidey-hi's and ho's)



Now Min met Ole Deacon Lowdown



He preached to her that she ought to slow down

But Minnie wiggled her jelly roll

Deacon Lowdown yelled "Lord save my soul!"



(upbeat hidey-hi's)



They took her where they put the crazies

Now poor Min's kickin' up those daisies

You heard my story this is the song

She was just a good gal but they done her wrong



(yet more hidey-hi's)



Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min!
