Artist/Band: Randy Newman
Lyrics for Song: Kingfish
Lyrics for Album: Good Old Boys [1990]



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 shit-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 ass

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
