[Verse 1]
[Em]  
Folks, here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher,  
[C7]                [B7]      [Em]  
She was a red hot hoochie-coocher.  
[Em]  
She was the roughest toughest frail,  
[C7]                         [B7]       [Em]  
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale.  

[Chorus 1]  
[Em]  
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi!)  
[Em]  
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho! (Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!)  
[Em]  
Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee! (Hee-de-hee-de-hee-de-hee!)  
[Em]  
Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho! (Hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho!)  

[Bridge Riff] (repeat intro tabs)

[Verse 2]  
[Em]  
She messed around with a bloke named Smokey,  
[C7]                    [B7]     [Em]  
She loved him though he was cokey.  
[Em]  
He took her down to Chinatown,  
[C7]                              [B7]   [Em]  
And showed her how to kick the gong around.  

[Chorus 2] (same as Chorus 1)

[Verse 3]  
[Em]  
She had a dream about the king of Sweden,  
[C7]                        [B7]      [Em]  
He gave her things, that she was needin'.  
[Em]  
He gave her a home built of gold and steel,  
[C7]                       [B7]       [Em]  
A diamond car, with the platinum wheels.  

[Chorus 3]  
[Em]

[Em]  
He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses,  
[C7]                       [B7]    [Em]  
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses.  
[Em]  
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes,  
[C7]                                     [B7]      [Em]  
She sat around and counted them all a million times.  

[Chorus 4] (same as Chorus 1)  

[Outro]  
[Em]     [C7]  
Poor   Min!  
[C7]     [B7]  
Poor   Min!  
[Em7/G]  [Em]  
Poor   Min!
