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 s**t-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
