Minnie the Moocher — текст песни (Cab Calloway)

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, one mo` `gain!)

poor min, poor min, poor min!
