[B] [Em] Folks, now here's a story about Minnie the Moocher.

Waddy waddy wade, waddy waddy wade, oh baby, [C] oh [B] baby, [Em] weebo, weebo, howdy ho, howdy ho.
Now he gave her his townhouse and his racing horse, [B] each meal [Em] she ate was a dozen carpets.
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes, and [C] she sat around counting them all a [Em] million times.
