Cab Calloway
Minnie the Moocher
[Verse 1]
Hey folks here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a lobed down hoochie-coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart, as big as a whale

[Chorus]
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)
He-de-he-de-he-de-he (He-de-he-de-he-dе-he)
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-dе-ho (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho)

[Verse 2]
She messed around with a bloke named Smokie
She love him, though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And he show her how to kick the gong around

[Chorus]
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Whoo-ah (Whoo-ah)
He-de-he-de-he-de-he (He-de-he-de-he-de-he)
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho)

[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
A hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
A ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)
Skully-boo-skully-boo-skully-bully-bully-boo
(Skully-boo-skully-boo-skully-bully-bully-boo)

[Verse 4]
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 around and counted them all a million times

[Chorus]
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)
He-de-he-de-he-de-he (He-de-he-de-he-de-he)
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho)

[Outro]
Poor Min
