Minnie the Moocher`s Wedding Day — текст песни (Cab Calloway)

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 blues.

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!
