This is the story of minnie the moocher
She was red hot hoochie-koocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But minnie had a heart as biiiig as wha-a-le
(This is the story of minnie the moocher)
Minnie messed around with a bloke Smoky
She loved him tough he was cokey
He took her down to chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around
Hidey-hi hidey-ho
Told you before that I love you so
