Minnie The Moocher

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!

Smokey Joe’s so happy he can hardly wait
He’s spent a million dollars for a wedding cake
Yeah, man, I heard somebody say
It’s Minnie the Moocher’s wedding day

You better come on down
Down to Chinatown
Let me take you down
To see them kick the gong around

A million cokies singing, “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!
Minnie the Moocher’s wedding day

You’ll see that
He promised smokey, he would be there
To see that everything turned out okay
Oh, Minnie the Moocher’s wedding day!

Oh-oh! Down Chinatown
