Kingfish

There's a hundred-thousand Frenchmen in New Orleans

In New Orleans there are Frenchmen everywhere

But your house could fall down

Your baby could drown

Wouldn't none of those Frenchmen care

Everybody gather 'round

Loosen up your suspenders Hunker down on the ground

I'm a cracker

And you are too

But don't I take good care of you

Who built the highway to Baton Rouge?

Who put up the hospital and built your schools?

Who looks after ****-kickers like you?

The Kingfish do

Who gave a party at the Roosevelt Hotel

And invited the whole north half of the state down there for free

Evertbody in the city, had their eyes bugging out

Cause everyone looked just like me

Here comes the Kingfish, the Kingfish

Everybody sing

Here comes theKingfish, the Kingfish

Every man a king

Who took on the Standard Oil men, and whipped their ass

Just like he promised he'd do?

Ain't no Standard oil men gonna run this state

Gonna be run by little folks like me and you

Here comes the Kingfish, the Kingfish

Friend of the working man

Here comes the Kingfish, the Kingfish

The Kingfish gonna save this land

Here comes the Kingfish, the Kingfish

Friend of the working man

Here comes the Kingfish, the Kingfish

The Kingfish gonna save this land
