Randy Newman - Kingfish - remastered 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 sh**-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 a** 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
