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, 
Way down in Chinatown, 
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! 

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! 

Hi-de-hi-de-hi, 
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho! 
Hay-de-hay-de-hay, 
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!
