Текст песни: Cab Calloway. Other. Minnie The Moocher.

Folks here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
she was a red hot hoochie coocher.
She was the roughest toughest frail
but Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Hi de hi de hi de hi
oh oh oh oh
Hee de hee de hee de hee
yeah yeah yeah yeah

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

Hi de hi de hi de hi
oh oh oh oh
Hee de hee de hee de hee
yeah yeah yeah yeah

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
a diamond car with the puh-latinum wheels.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-oh
Skeedle-a-booka-diki biki skeedly beeka gookity woop!
A-booriki-booriki-booriki Hoy!

He gave her his town house and his racing horses
each meal she ate was a dozen courses.
She had a million dollars in nickels and dimes
she sat around and counted it all, a million times.

Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi
Ho-oh-whoaa-oh-oh-whoa
He-de-he-de-hee-de-hee

Poor Min! Poor Min! Poo-oor Min
