Now here's the story bout Minnie the Moocher She was a lowdown hoochie coocher She was the roughest and the toughest frail But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale
She had a dream about the king of Sweden He gave her everything that she was needin He gave her a home built of golden steel A platinum car with diamond wheels
Now Minnie and Smokey, they started shaggin They got a free ride in a wagon She gave him money to pay her bail But don't you know he went and left her in the jail
Oh Minnie met old Deacon Lowdown He preached to her that she oughta slowdown But Minnie just stood and rock and rolled And Deacon Lowdown please save my soul
They took her where they put the bad ladies And now Minnie is pushin up dasies You heard my story now this ends my song She's a good gail but they done her wrong
