Kingfish Lyrics

A hundred-thousand Frenchmen in New Orleans In New Orleans there are Frenchmen everywhere But your house could fall down, 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, you are too Don't take good care of you
Who built the highway Baton Rouge? Who put up the hospital, built you schools? Who looked after shit-kickers like you? Kingfish do
Who gave a party at the Roosevelt Hotel? Invited whole north half of the state down there for free People in the city had their eyes bugging out 'Cause everyone looked just like me
Here come the Kingfish, Kingfish Everybody sing Here's the Kingfish, 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 to run by little folks like me and you
Here's the Kingfish, the Kingfish Friend of the working man The Kingfish, the Kingfish The Kingfish gonna save this land
