MINNIE THE
MOOCHER Folks here's a story about Minnie the
Moocher
She was a low down hootchie
kootcher
She was the roughest and the
toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big
as a whale
Hi hi dee hi dee hi
He he dee he dee he
Hoo hoo do hoo do hoo
(French)
(French)
Ouvre la fenetre, (another French word)
(a bunch of giggling)
She
messed around with the king of Sweden
He gave
her every little thing that she was needin'
He gave her a million dollars in nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times
Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee Hi dee yah
Hee dee hee
(something
sounding Russian)
(something else sounding
Russian)

Oh dah lil layee
Oh dah layee, oh dah layee, oh dah layee
He he
(Danny does some
scattin' then tells the choir guys to try "go ahead")
(Choir guys laugh)
They sent
for Minnie where they put the crazies
Now
poor ol' Minnie's pushing up the daisies
This
ends the story and it ends my song
She was
just a little gal but they done her wrong
DINAH
Dinah
Is there anyone finer
In the
state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her
Show her to
me.
Dinah
Got those Dixie eyes blazin'
How I love to sit and
gazin'
To the eyes of Dinah Lee.
Every night why do I
Shake with
fright?
Cause my Dinah might
Change her mind about me.
Oh,
Dinah
Should you wander to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be
with Dinah Lee.
David Daniel Kaminsky, known as Danny
Kaye (January 18, 1913 – March 3, 1987) was an American actor, singer and
comedian.
Born to Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, red-haired Kaye became
one of the world’s best-known comedians. He learned his trade in his teen years
as a tummler in the Catskills. In 1941 he appeared in the Broadway show, Lady in
the Dark and performed the famous number “Tchaikovsky,” by Kurt Weill and Ira
Gershwin, in which he sang the names of a whole string of Russian composers at
breakneck speed, seemingly without taking a breath.
According to The New York
Times, when he appeared at the London Palladium music hall In 1948, he “roused
the Royal family to shrieks of laughter and was the first of many performers who
have turned English variety into an American preserve.” Life magazine described
his reception as “worshipful hysteria” and noted that the royal family, for the
first time in history, left the royal box to see the show from the front row of
the orchestra.
Kaye made his film debut in a 1935 comedy short subject,
entitled Moon Over Manhattan. His feature film debut was Up in Arms
(1944). The following year he began hosting his own
CBS radio program, launching a number of hit songs including
"Dinah," "Tubby the Tuba," "Minnie the
Moocher," "Ballin' the Jack," "Bloop Bleep," and "Civilization"; "I've
Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts," his lone U.S. chart hit, was released in
1950.
He starred in several movies with actress Virginia Mayo in the 1940’s, and is well known for his roles in films such as The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947), The Inspector General (1949), White Christmas (1954), Knock on Wood (1954), The Court Jester (1956), and Merry Andrew (1958).
