            Hey folks here's a story bout Minnie the Moocher
            She was a low down hoochie coocher
            She was the roughest toughest frail
            But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
            
            Hidi hidi hidi hi   (echeo)
            Hodi hodi hodi ho   (echeo)
            Hedi hedi hedi he   (echeo)
            Hidi hidi hidi ho   (echeo)

            She messed around with a bloke named smokie
            She loved him though he was cokie
            He took her down to China town
            And he showed her how to kick the gong around

            Hidi hidi hidi hi   (echeo)
            Oooooooowwwwwwwww   (echeo)
            Hedi hedi hedi he   (echeo)
            Hidi hidi hidi ho   (echeo)

            She had a dream about the king of swing
            He gave her things that she was needin
            He gave her a home built of gold and steal
            A dimond car with a platnum wheel
  
            Hidi hidi hidi hidi hidi hidi hi   (echeo)
            Owdi owdi owdi owdi owdi owdi ow   (echeo)
            Scuduley wull scuduley wull scudeley wuduley wuduley wull (echeo)
            Stat de de de dedela what ded dedela ded ded dedla
            what ded doy   (echeo)

            He gave her his town house and his racen horses
            Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
            Had a million dollars worth of nickles and dimes
            She sat around and counted them all a million times
            
            Hidi hidi hidi hi   (echeo)
            hodi hodi hodi ho   (echeo)
            hedi hedi hedi he   (echeo)
            Hidi hidi hidi ho   (echeo)
