Minnie the Moocher Lyrics

Folks here's a story of Minnie the Moocher,
She was a red hot hoochie coocher.
She was the roughest, toughest frail,
Now Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Whoah
Whoah
Hoo-dee hoo-dee hoo
Hoo-dee hoo-dee hoo
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi

Now she messed around with a bloke named Smokey,
She loved him though was cokie.
Now 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
Whoah
Whoah
Hoo-dee hoo-dee hoo
Hoo-dee hoo-dee hoo
O-o-o-oh
O-o-o-oh

Now she had this dream about a King from Sweden,
He gave her things that she was needin'.
Now he built her a home out of gold and steel,
With a diamond car with platinum wheels.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Ho-dee ho-dee ho-dee ho-dee ho-de ho-dee ho
Booga-dee Booga-dee Booga-dee wah

Now he gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses.
Now she had a million dollars in nickels and dimes,
She sat around and counted one million times.

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi
Whoah
Whoah
Hoo-dee hoo-dee hoo
Hoo-dee hoo-dee hoo
Whoah
Whoah

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is a contemporary swing band from Southern California. Their notable singles include "Go Daddy-O" and "You and Me and the Bottle Makes Three Tonight". The band went from a regular Wednesday night gig at the Derby in Hollywood, playing for a few hundred people, to playing the Super Bowl XXXIII half-time show in 1999.

The band was originally formed in 1989 by leader Scott Morris. He and Kurt Sodergren are the two "original" members, with the rest of the band joining later on. The band concentrated on the swing of the 1940s and '50s, playing clubs and lounges in their early years.

The band launched two CDs, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Watchu' Want for Christmas? under their own label (Big Bad Records) before getting their big break when their songs "You & Me & The Bottle Makes Three Tonight (Baby)" and "Go Daddy-O" were featured in the 1996 comedy Swingers.

From there they were signed by Capitol Records. With Capitol the band released Americana Deluxe (also known as a second Big Bad Voodoo Daddy) and This Beautiful Life. The band has continued their tours, performances and album releases Save My Soul, Live, and Everything You Want For Christmas, with one high point being their appearance at the 1999 Super Bowl half-time show.

Over the last few years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has experienced great success playing on the Pops programs of American Symphony Orchestras and regular US tours.

Most recently, BBVD released a tribute album titled How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway. As part of the live concerts promoting this recent album, the band continues to perform new material, including the track "5-10-15 Times I Love You" which frontman Scotty Morris says will be recorded as part of a new album in early 2011.
