Minnie the Moocher

Now here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher

She was a lowdown hoochie coocher

She was the roughest and the toughest frail

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey

Hedee, hedee he

Hodee, hodee ho

She had a dream about the king of Sweden

He gave her everything that she was needin'

He gave her a home built of golden steel

A platinum car with diamond wheels

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey

Hedee, hedee he

Hodee, hodee ho

Now Minnie and Smokey, they started shaggin'

They got a free ride in a wagon

She gave him money to pay her bail

But don't you know he went and left her in the jail

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey

Hedee, hedee he

Hodee, hodee ho

Oh, Minnie met old Deacon Lowdown

He preached to her that she oughta slowdown

But Minnie just stood and rock and rolled

And Deacon Lowdown, please save my soul

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey

Hedee, hedee he

Hodee, hodee ho

They took her where they put the bad ladies

And now Minnie is pushin' up daises

You heard my story, now this ends my song

She's a good gail but they done her wrong

Hidee, hidee, hidee hey

Hedee, hedee he

Hodee, hodee ho
