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
