Couplet
EmFolks, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,
C7She was a low-down B7hoochieEm-cootcher,
EmShe was the roughest, toughest frail,
But C7Minnie had a heart as B7big as a Emwhale.

EmShe messed around with a bloke named Smoky,
C7She loved him though B7he was Emcokie,
EmHe took her down to Chinatown,
And he C7showed her how to kick the B7gong Emaround.

EmShe had a dream about the king of Sweden,
C7He gave her things that B7she was Emneedin',
EmHe gave her a home built of gold and steel,
A C7diamond car with a B7platinum Emwheel.

Couplet
EmHe gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
C7Each meal she ate was a B7dozen Emcourses;
EmShe had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,
She C7sat around and counted them all a B7million Emtimes.
