Minnie the Moocher - Cab Calloway, Steampunk

Folks, here’s a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher

She was a red-hot hoochie-coocher

She was the roughest, toughest frail

But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)

Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey

She loved him though was cokey

He took her down to Chinatown

And he showed her how to kick the gong around

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)

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 a p-la-ti-num wheel

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho)

Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh

(skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh)

Bour’rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh (bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh)

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses

Each meal she ate was a dozen courses

She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes

She sat around and counted them all a million times

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min

Amigos, aquí hay una historia sobre Minnie the Moocher

Ella era una hoochie-coocher al rojo vivo
