Here's the story of Minnie the Moocher
She was a low-down hoochie coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart...
Allemande left and weave the ring
Hidey hidey hidey hi (Hidey hidey hidey hi)
Hodey hodey hodey ho (Hodey hodey hodey ho)
Heedey heedey heedey hee (Heedey heedey heedey hee)
Hidey hidey hidey ho (Hidey hidey hidey ho)
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads square thru 4 hands you go now
To the corner, touch 1/4 you know
Scoot back, the boy run right now
Right & left thru, you turn the girl and then
Send her back, dixie style you make that wave now
The boys cross fold, swing and promenade
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick the Gong around
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads promenade take 'em halfway round now
Side 2 do a right & left thru
Sides square thru 4 hands round the ring go
Go all the way, eight chain 4
4 hands across and then you swing her
Keep the girl, promenade that old ring
He took her down to Chinatown
And showed her how to kick the Gong around
