Kingfish - 2002 Remaster

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
