Minnie the Moocher

Here's a story about Minnie the Moocher

She was a low down hoochie-coocher

She was the roughest, toughest frail

but Minnie had a heart as big as a whale



[Original Chorus]

Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho (hodee-hodee-hodee-ho)

Ra-dee-da-dee-da (ra-dee-da-dee-da)

Teedle-teedle-dee (teedle-teedle-dee)

Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho (hodee-hodee-hodee-ho)



Min' 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 platinum car with diamond starlet wheels



[Variations on Chorus]



Oh Minnie met ol' Deacon Lowdown

He preached to her, oh you oughta slow down

But Minnie wiggled and did the stroll

The Deacon Lowdown hollered, oh save my soul



[Variations on Chorus]



They took her where they put the crazies

Now poor ol' Minnie is a-kickin' up daisies

You heard my story, this ends my song

She was just a good gal, but they done her wrong



[Variations on Chorus]
