Folks, here's a story about Minnie the Moocher

She was the roughest, toughest frail

She hung around with a bloke named Smoky
She loved him though he was cokey
He took her down to Chinatown
Where he showed her how to kick the gong around ()

She had a dream about the King of Sweden
He gave her things that she was needin'
A palace home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with platinum wheels

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 a million times
