Lyrics Cab Calloway

Cab Calloway

Honey Dripper

Folks here's the 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

She messed around with a bloke named Smokie

She loved him though he was cokey

He took her down to Chinatown

And he showed her how to kick the gong around

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 p-platinum wheels

He gave her his townhouse and his racin' 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

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Minnie
