Intro :(3x)         Folks, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,   She was a low-down hoochie-cootcher,   She was the roughest, toughest frail, But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale. Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-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 !)   She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,   She loved him though he was cokie,   He took her down to Chinatown, And he showed her how to kick the gong around. Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi !) Whoooooaaaaah !  (Whoooooaaaaah !) 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 !)   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, (Double time feel) A diamond car with a platinum wheel. Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi !) Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho ! (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-hi !) ...   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, She sat around and counted them all a million times. Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi ! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-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 !)
