Minnie the Moocher Songtext
von Al Bowlly

Now here′s a story of Minnie the Moocher
She was a lowdown hoochie coocher
She was the roughest toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
(Minnie had a heart as big as a
Whale)

Dat n dat n dat dew
(Dat n dat dew)
Didi Dit Doo Doo
(Didi Dit Doo Doo)
Minnie had a heart as big as a
Whale
(Minnie had a heart as big as a
Whale)

She messed around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was coke-y
He took her down to China Town
And showed her how to kick the gong around
(Showed her how to kick the gong around)


Poor Smoky Jones
(Poor Smoky Jones)
Easy money mo'
(Easy money mo′)
Showed her how to kick the gong around
(Showed her how to kick the gong around)

Now Min and Smoky started a fire
They got a free ride in the black
Maria
She gave him the money to pay her bail
But he left her flat in a county jail
(Left her flat in a county jail)

All the byes byes
(All the byes byes)
Give a dollar tho
(Give a dollar tho)
But he left her flat in a county jail
(Left her flat in a county jail)

Now they took her where they put the crazies
Now poor ol' Min is kickin' up daisies
You′ve heard my story, this ain′t my song
She was a good gal, but they done her wrong


We've been guinny
(We′ve been guinny)
Poor Minny
(Poor Minny)
Was a good gal, but they done her wrong
(Was a good gal, but they done her wrong)

(Poor Min)
(Poor Min)
(Poor Min)
