randy newman – kingfish lyrics
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 sh-t-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 -ss
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
