How Come You Do Me Like You Do? - 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!
