Minnie the Moocher (Theme Song) (78rpm Version)

Folk's 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 a big as a whale

Hidey-hi's
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey

She loved him though he was coke-y

He took her down to Chinatown

And he showed her how to kick the gong around

Hidey-hi's
She had a dream about the King of Sweden

He gave her things that she was needin'

Gave her a home built of gold and steel

A diamond car with the platinum wheels
Fast hidey-hi's
He gave her a 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 a million times

Hidey-hi's

Poor min poor min poor min
