Minnie the Moocher - Cab Calloway, Steampunk

Folks, here’s a 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

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)

Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey

She loved him though was cokey

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)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)

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 a p-la-ti-num wheel

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho)

Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh

(skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh)

Bour’rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh (bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh)

He gave her his townhouse and his racing 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

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (whoa-a-a-a-ah)

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min

Gente, ecco una storia su Minnie the Moocher

Era una rovente hoochie-coocher

Era la più ruvida, la più tenace fragile

Ma Minnie aveva un cuore grande quanto una balena

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (Whoa-a-a-a-ah)

Hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee (hee-dee-hee-dee-hee-dee-hee)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

Ha scherzato con un tipo di nome Smokey

Lo amava anche se era cocaina

L'ha portata a Chinatown

E le ha mostrato come prendere a calci il gong

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (Whoa-a-a-a-ah)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

Oh-oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Ha fatto un sogno sul re di Svezia

Le ha dato le cose di cui aveva bisogno

Le ha dato una casa fatta di oro e acciaio

Un'auto diamantata con una ruota p-la-ti-num

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho (ho-dee-ho-dee-ho-dee ho)

Skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh

(skip-de-diddly-skip-de-diddly-diddly-oh)

Bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh (bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-bour'rrigy-oh)

Le ha dato la sua casa di città e i suoi cavalli da corsa

Ogni pasto che mangiava era una dozzina di portate

Aveva un milione di dollari di nickel e monete da dieci centesimi

Si è seduta e li ha contati tutti un milione di volte

Hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi (hi-dee hi-dee hi-dee hi)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (Whoa-a-a-a-ah)

He-e-e-e-e-e-e-y (he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-y)

Whoa-a-a-a-ah (Whoa-a-a-a-ah)

Povero Min, povero Min, povero Min
