Folks, now here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,
she was a red-hot hootchie-cootcher,
she was the roughest, toughest frail,
but Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-ho!
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho!

Now, she messed around with a bloke named Smoky
she loved him though he was cokie,
he took her down to chinatown,
he showed her how to kick the gong around.

Now, 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.

Now, 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,
and she sat around and counted them all a billion times.

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.
