Kingfish Lyrics - Randy Newman

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 you schools? 

Who looks after shit-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 

The people in the city had their eyes bugging out 

Cause everyone of you looked just like me 

Kingfish, Kingfish 

Everybody sing 

Kingfish, 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

Kingfish, Kingfish 

Friend of the working man 

Kingfish, Kingfish 

The Kingfish gonna save this land
