Minnie the Moocher (backing track) Songtext
von Blues Brothers

Hey folks, here′s the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a low-down hoochie-koocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hidey-hidey-hidey hi (hidey-hidey-hidey hi)
Hodey-odey-odey oh (hodey-odey-odey oh)
Heedey-heedey-heedey hee (heedey-heedey-heedey hee)
Hidey-hidey-hidey ho (hidey-hidey-hidey ho)

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him, though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick the gong around

Hidey-hidey-hidey hi (hidey-hidey-hidey hi)
Whooooooooaaaap! (Whooooooooaaaap!)
Heedey-heedey-heedey hee (heedey-heedey-heedey hee)
Hidey-hidey-hidey ho (hidey-hidey-hidey ho)


She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin′
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with the platinum wheels

Hidey-hidey-hidey-hidey-hidey-hidey hi
(Hidey-hidey-hidey-hidey-hidey-hidey hi)
Hodey-odey-odey-odey-odey-odey oh
(Hodey-odey-odey-odey-odey-odey oh)
Scoodlybu, scoodlybu, scoodly-woodly-boodly boo
(Scoodlybu, scoodlybu, scoodly-woodly-boodly boo)
Ziti-du-du-dudy, scoodly-doodly butut oy
(Ziti-du-du-dudy, scoodly-doodly butut oy)

He gave her his townhouse and his racin' horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times

Hidey-hidey-hidey hi (hidey-hidey-hidey hi)
Hodey-odey-odey oh (hodey-odey-odey oh)
Heedey-heedey-heedey hee (heedey-heedey-heedey hee)
Hidey-hidey-hidey ho (hidey-hidey-hidey ho)

Poor Min'
