Intro: [Em] [B7] [Am] [Em] [C7] [B7] [B7] [Em]
[Em] Folks, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,
[C7] She was a low-down [B7]hoochie-[Em]cootcher,
[Em] She was the roughest, toughest frail,
But [C7]Minnie had a heart as [B7]big as a [Em]whale.
Hi-de-[Em]hi-de-hi-di-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!)
Ho-de-[B7]ho-de-ho-de-ho! (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!)
He-de-[Em]he-de-he-de-he! (He-de-he-de-he-de-he!)
Hi-de-[B7]hi-de-hi-de-ho! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho!)
[Em] She messed around with a bloke named Smoky,
[C7] She loved him though [B7]he was [Em]cokie,
[Em] He took her down to Chinatown,
And he [C7]showed her how to kick the [B7]gong a[Em]round.
Hi-de-[Em]hi-de-hi-di-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-di-hi!)
[B7]Whoooooaaaaah! (Whoooooaaaaah!)
He-de-[Em]he-de-he-de-he! (He-de-he-de-he-de-he!)
Hi-de-[B7]hi-de-hi-de-ho! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho!)
[Em] She had a dream about the king of Sweden,
[C7] He gave her things that [B7]she was [Em]needin',
[Em] Gave her a home built of gold and steel,
(Double time feel)
A [C7]diamond car with a [B7]platinum [Em]wheel.
[Em]Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi!)
[B7]Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho! (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-hi!)
[Em] Gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
[C7] Each meal she ate was a [B7]dozen [Em]courses;
[Em] She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,
She [C7]sat around and counted them all a [B7]million [Em]times.
