Verse 1
[Em]
Folks, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,
[C7] [B7] [Em]
She was a low-down hoochie-cootcher,

She was the roughest, toughest frail,
[C7] [B7] [Em]
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.
Chorus
[Em]
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!)

Verse 2
[Em]
She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,
[C7] [B7] [Em]
She loved him though he was cokie,
[Em]
He took her down to Chinatown,
[C7] [B7] [Em]
And he showed her how to kick the gong around.

[Em]
She had a dream about the king of Sweden,
[C7] [B7] [Em]
He gave her things that she was needin',
[Em]
He gave her a home built of gold and steel,
(Double time feel)
[C7] [B7] [Em]
A diamond car with a platinum wheel.

[Em]
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
[C7] [B7] [Em]

She sat around and counted them all a million times.
