Oscar Peterson - The Honeydripper lyrics

Folks here's the 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 She messed around with a bloke named Smokie She loved him though he was cokey He took her down to Chinatown And 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' He gave her a home built of gold and steel A diamond car with p-platinum wheels He gave her his townhouse and his racin' 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
