Cab Calloway - Minnie the Moocher's Wedding Day lyrics

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.

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!
