Now here's the story about Minnie the Moocher
She was a lowdown hoochie coocher
She was the roughest and the toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hey
Hedee-hedee-he
Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho
She had a dream about the king of Sweden
He gave her everything that she was needing
He gave her a home built of golden steel
A platinum car with diamond wheels
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hey
Hedee-hedee-he
Hodee-hodee-ho
Now Minnie and Smokey, they started shagging
They got a free ride in a wagon
She gave him money to pay her bail
But don't you know he went and left her in the jail
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hey
Hedee-hedee-he
Hodee-hodee-ho
Oh Minnie met old Deacon Lowdown
He preached to her that she oughta slowdown
But Minnie just stood and rock and rolled
And Deacon Lowdown please save my soul
Hodee-hidee-hidee-hey
Hedee-hedee-he
Hodee-hodee-hodee-ho
They took her where they put the bad ladies
And now Minnie is pushing up daisies
You heard my story now this ends my song
She's a good gal but they done her wrong
Hidee-hidee-hidee-hey
Hedee-hedee-he
Hodee-hodee-ho
