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
