Hey folks here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a lowdown hoocie coocher 
She was the roughest toughest frail 
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale 

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

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 
diamond car with platinum wheels 

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses 
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses 
Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes 
She sat around and counted them all a million times 

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Minnie
