GUEST,ian guthrie uk Lyr Req: Minnie the Moocher (Cab Calloway) (14) minnie the moocher 28 Jan 02


Anyone have the words & tune? & mp3?

verse (approx)-

Now hear the story of Minnie the moocher.
She was a low-down hoochie coocher.
She was the roughest toughest frail,
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.
(repeat)

She kicked around with a guy named Smokey,
And he loved her though he was a cokie.
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick the gong around. *
(repeat)

Oh, Minnie smoked and she started a fire;
Got a free ride in the black maria.
She gave him the money for her bail,
And he left her flat in the county jail.
(repeat)

Oh, they put Minnie where they put the crazy.
Now poor Minnie’s kicking up daisies.
This ends my story; this ends my song.
She was a good girl but they done her wrong.
(repeat)

* smoke opium

There's another song, the ballad of Smokey Joe. I know the words, but it's late.
