Here's some news that'll get you,
It's made to order for you.
I just bet it'll fit you,
Follow up these red hot news.
Grab a taxi and go down,
Chinatown's on a spree;
Let me give you the lowdown,
This is really history.
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!
Old Smoky Joe's so happy he can hardly wait,
He's spent a million dollars for his wedding date,
Yeah, man, they're gonna celebrate,
It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/cab_calloway/minnie_the_moochers_wedding_day.html ]
You better come on down,
Way down in Chinatown,
Oh, let me take you down
To see them kick the gong around.
A million cokies shouting, "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!
They said a hundred thousand hoppies
Went over to China picking poppies,
They're gonna put them all in one bouquet
For Minnie the Moocher's wedding day!
Hi-de-hi-de-hi,
Ho-de-ho-de-ho-de-ho!
Hay-de-hay-de-hay,
It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day!
Yeah, man! Why, what's that them boys say?
It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day!
