Lyrics of Minnie the Moocher (Theme Song) by Cab Calloway
verse
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
verse
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was cocky
He took her down to Chinatown and he showed her
How to kick the gong around
verse
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 platinum wheels
verse
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 them all a million times
outro
Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min
