Minnie the Moocher (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
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
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 a p-la-ti-num wheel
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho)
Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh
(skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh)
Bour’rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh (bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh)
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them all a million times
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min

Amigos, aquí hay una historia sobre Minnie the Moocher
Ella era una hoochie-coocher al rojo vivo
Ella era la más áspera, la más dura y frágil
Pero Minnie tenía un corazón tan grande como una ballena
hola-dee hola-dee hola-dee hola (hola-dee hola-dee hola-dee hola)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
Ji-di-ji-di-ji-di-ji (ji-di-ji-di-ji-di-ji)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Se metió con un tipo llamado Smokey
Ella lo amaba aunque era cokey
Él la llevó a Chinatown
Y él le mostró cómo patear el gong
hola-dee hola-dee hola-dee hola (hola-dee hola-dee hola-dee hola)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ella tuvo un sueño sobre el Rey de Suecia
Él le dio las cosas que ella necesitaba
Él le dio una casa construida de oro y acero
Un auto de diamante con rueda de p-la-ti-num
hola-dee hola-dee hola-dee hola (hola-dee hola-dee hola-dee hola)
Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho)

Él le dio su casa y sus caballos de carreras.
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 los contó un millón de veces
hola-dee hola-dee hola-dee hola (hola-dee hola-dee hola-dee hola)
Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)
