Folks, now here´s a story about Minnie the Moocher
She was a red hot hoochie-koocher
She was the roughest, toughest faril
but Minnie had a heart as big as a wha-a-le

Hodey-ho-dee-ho
Hidey-hi-dee-hi
Heedey-hee-dee-hee 
Hodey-ho-dee-ho 

Now she messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
He showed her how to kick the gong around

Hodey-ho
Hidey-hi
Whaddy-whee-ho 
Hodey-ho-dee-ho

Now she had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin´
He gave her a home that was built of gold and steel
A diamond car with platinum wheels

Whaddy-whoody-way
Oh baby 
Wanna-be-beyou 
Hodey-ho 

Now 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
And she sat around and counted ´em all a million times

Hodey-hodey 
Whoa-Minnie 
Wholey-whay 
Oh no 

Poor Min, Poor Min, Poor Min
