Here's some news that'll get you
It's made to order for you
I just, said it's a cinch you
Follow up this red hot clue
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 Smokey Joe's so happy he could hardly wait
He spent a million dollars for his wedding cake
Yeah man, they gonna celebrate
It's Minnie the Moocher's wedding day
You better come on down (you better come on down)
Way down to Chinatown (way down to Chinatown)
Oh let me take you down (oh let me take you down)
To see them kick the gong around
A million kochies shoutin' hey dee hey dee hey
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
(Minnie the Moocher's wedding day)
They said a hundred thousand hopies
Went over to China pickin' poppies
They gonna put them all in one bouquet
For Minnie the Moocher's wedding day
(Minnie the Moocher's wedding day)
Hi dee hi dee hi (hi dee hi dee hi)
Mony oy oy oy (mony oy oy oy)
Way dee ay ay ay (way dee ay ay ay)
Oh, 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
