Minnie the Moocher
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 a tad cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick that gong around

A diamond car with them platinum wheels
