Minnie The Moocher (02-02-42) (original)

Folks here’s a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a red hot Hoochie Coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Hidey hidey hidey hi

Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Heedey heedey heedey hee
(Heedey heedey heedey hee)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh)
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
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh

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 the platinum wheels
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Hode hode hode hode ho

He gave her his town house and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars in nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted it all, a million times
Hidey hidey hidey hi
(Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeh)
Whao ohh ohh ohh oh
(Whao ohh ohh ohh oh)
Poor Min!

Ella tuvo un sueño sobre el Rey de Suecia
Él le dio cosas que ella necesitaba

Un auto de diamante, con las llantas de platino

Él le dio su casa en la ciudad y sus caballos de carrera.
Cada comida que comió fue una docena de platos
Ella tenía un millón de dólares en monedas de cinco centavos y diez centavos
Se sentó y lo contó todo, un millón de veces
