lyrics

Folks, here's a story 'bout Minnie the Moocher
She was a red hot hoochie-coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

Hi-dee-hi-hi-hi (hi-dee-hi-hi-hi)
Hee-dee-hee-hee-hee (hee-dee-hee-hee-hee)
Ho-dee-ho-ho-ho (ho-dee-ho-ho-ho)
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

She messed around with a bloke named Smokey
She loved him though he was kokey
He took her down to Chinatown
And he showed her how to kick the gong around

Hi-dee-hi-hi-hi (hi-dee-hi-hi-hi)
Hee-dee-hee-hee-hee (hee-dee-hee-hee-hee)
Ho-dee-ho-ho-ho (ho-dee-ho-ho-ho)
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

She had a dream about the king of Sweden
He gave her things, that she was needin'
He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car, with the platinum wheels

Hi-dee-hi-hi-hi (hi-dee-hi-hi-hi)
Hee-dee-hee-hee-hee (hee-dee-hee-hee-hee)
Tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-go (Tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-tic-a-go)
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

He gave her his townhouse and his racing horses
Each meal she ate was a dozen courses
She had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them all a million times

Hi-dee-hi-hi-hi (hi-dee-hi-hi-hi)
Hee-dee-hee-hee-hee (hee-dee-hee-hee-hee)
Ho-dee-ho-ho-ho (ho-dee-ho-ho-ho)
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Poor Min, poor Min, poor Min

about

The Cold Chemistry Lyon, France

The Cold Chemistry est un duo rock de Lyon qui transpire un bon vieux blues old school bien assumé. Le groupe nous entraîne dans leur univers poussiéreux au sein duquel il nous dévoile l’histoire du 2060 Society club. Chacun des 10 titres présenté est associé à un personnage du 2060 Society Club avec des morceaux tantôt minimalistes, parfois planants mais souvent ravageurs. ... more
