The Jazz Cat & Minnie the Moocher lyrics

The jazz cat, heidi-ho
The jazz cat, heidi, hedi, hedi-ho
He plays it cool and digs all jive
That's the reason he stays alive

His motto (what?) as he lives and learns is:
Dig, oh! And be dug in return
So, dig it!

The hedi-ho man, that's me, hey!
Whoaoaoaoaoa
Datatatatatat-dat-ta!

Hello, how you doin', New York?
We're so happy you came out tonight
This is a song made famous by the late, great Cab Calloway
A one, a two, a one, two, three and

Now, here's the story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a low-down, a hoochie coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart a big as a whale

Heidi, heidi-ho (Hedi, hedi-ho)
Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey! (Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey)
Whoa-aaaay (Whoa-aaay)
Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day (Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day)

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him, though he was coke-y
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick that gong around

Heidi, heidi-ho (Hedi, hedi-ho)
Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey! (Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey)
Whoa-aaaay (Whoa-aaay)
Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day (Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day)

Old Minnie met old Deacon Lowdown (Yeah?)
He preached to her, "You oughtta slow down"
But when Minnie wiggled her jelly roll
Deacon yelled out, "Lord, save her soul!"

Heidi, heidi-ho (Hedi, hedi-ho)
Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey! (Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey)
Whoa-aaaay (Whoa-aaay)
Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day (Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day)

They put poor Minnie where they put the crazies
Now Minnie's just kickin' up daisies
You've heard this story, now this ends my song
Oh, she was a good gal but they done her wrong

Heidi, heidi-ho (Hedi, hedi-ho)
Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey! (Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-aaaay (Whoa-oh-oh-oh-aaay)
Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day (Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day)

Heidi, heidi-ho (Hedi, hedi-ho)
Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey! (Heidi-heidi-hedi-heidi-hey)
Whoa-aaaay (Whoa-aaay)
Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day (Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day)

Heidi, heidi-ho (Hedi, hedi-ho)
Ohhh-dee-dee (Ohhh-dee-dee)
Ohhh-hey-hey (Ohhh-hey-hey)
Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day (Bah-do-bah-di-ba-do-ba-day)

Oh, Min, oh, Min, oooooooooh--Min
