Minnie the Moocher (The Hi De Ho Song) - Cab Calloway

Folks here’s the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher

She was a red-hot hoocie coocher

She was the roughest toughest frail

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

She messed around with a bloke named Smokie

She loved him though he was cokey

He took her down to Chinatown

and showed her how to kick the gong around

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

Whoah (Whoah)…

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses

Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes

She sat and counted them all a million times
