The Honeydripper Lyrics - Cab Calloway

Folks here's the 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 

She messed around with a bloke named Smokie 

She loved him though he was cokey 

He took her down to Chinatown 

And he showed her how to kick the gong around 

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 p-platinum wheels 

He gave her his townhouse and his racin' 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
