Cab Calloway - Minnie the Moocher Lyrics
Official




Here's some news that'll get you
It's made to order for you
I just bet it's-a suit you
Follow up these red-hot blues

Grab a taxi and go down
Chinatown's on a spree
Let me give you the low-down
This is really history

Whenever folks in Chinatown start acting gay
There's something in the air that makes them feel that way
Yeah, man, I heard somebody say
It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day

Old Smoky Joe's so happy he can hardly wait
He's spent a million dollars for his wedding date
Yeah, man, they're gonna celebrate
It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day

You better come on down (you better come on down)
Way down in Chinatown (way down in Chinatown)
Oh, let me take you down (oh, let me take you down)
To see them kick the gong around

A million cokies shouting, "hay-de-hay-de-hay"
The king of Sweden's gonna give the bride away
Yeah, man, I heard somebody say
It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day

The king and queen of every nation
Were glad to get an invitation
The prince of Wales said he would get away
For Minnie the Moocher's wedding day
(For Minnie the Moocher's wedding day)

They said a hundred thousand hoppies
Went over to China picking poppies
They're gonna put them all in one bouquet
For Minnie the Moocher's wedding day
(For Minnie the Moocher's wedding day)

Hi-de-hi-de-hi (hi-de-hi-de-hi)
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho (ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho)
Hay-de-hay-de-hay (hay-de-hay-de-hay)
Oh, it's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day

Yeah, man, why, what's that them boys say?
It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day
