1
There's a hundred-thousand Frenchmen in New Orleans
2
In New Orleans there are Frenchmen everywhere
3
But your house could fall down
4
Your baby could drown
5
Wouldn't none of those Frenchmen care
6
Everybody gather 'round
7
Loosen up your suspenders
8
Hunker down on the ground
9
I'm a cracker
10
And you are too
11
But don't I take good care of you
12
Who built the highway to Baton Rouge?
13
Who put up the hospital and built your schools?
14
Who looks after shit-kickers like you?
15
The Kingfish do
16
Who gave a party at the Roosevelt Hotel?
17
And invited the whole north half of the state down there for free
18
The people in the city
19
Had their eyes bugging out
20
Cause everyone looked just like me
21
Here comes the Kingfish, the Kingfish
22
Everybody sing
23
Here's the Kingfish, the Kingfish
24
Every man a king
25
Who took on the Standard Oil men
26
And whipped their ass
27
Just like he promised he'd do?
28
Ain't no Standard Oil men gonna run this state
29
Gonna be run by little folks like me and you
30
Here's the Kingfish, the Kingfish
31
Friend of the working man
32
The Kingfish, the Kingfish
33
The Kingfish gonna save this land
