Cab Calloway & His Orchestra - Minnie the Moocher

Folks, here's a 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

Hi-dee, hi-dee, hi-dee, hi (hi-dee, hi-dee, hi-dee, hi)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee)
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay (ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay)

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

Hi-dee, hi-dee, hi-dee, hi (hi-dee, hi-dee, hi-dee, hi)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh (whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay (ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay, ay-ay)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

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 a platinum wheel

Hi-dee, hi-dee, hi-dee, hi (hi-dee, hi-dee, hi-dee, hi)
Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee, ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee, ho)
Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh
(Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh)

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-dee, hi-dee, hi-dee, hi (hi-dee, hi-dee, hi-dee, hi)
Whoa-oh... (whoa-oh...)
Ay-ay-ay-ay... (ay-ay-ay-ay)
Oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
