[Verse 1]
EmFolks, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,
C7 She was a low-down B7hoochie-Emcootcher,
Em She was the roughest, toughest frail,
But C7Minnie had a heart as B7big as a Emwhale.
[Chorus]

Ho-de-Emho-de-ho-de-ho! [Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!]

[Verse 2]
Em She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,
C7 She loved him though B7he was Emcokie,
Em He took her down to Chinatown,
And he C7showed her how to kick the B7gong aEmround.

[Double time feel]
A C7diamond car with a B7platinum Emwheel.

Em He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
C7 Each meal she ate was a B7dozen Emcourses;
Em She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,
She C7sat around and counted them all a B7million Emtimes.
[Chorus]
Hi-de-Emhi-de-hi-di-hi! [Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!]
Ho-de-Emho-de-ho-de-ho! [Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!]
