Kingfish Lyrics

INTRO:
VERSE:
Well there's a hundred-thousand Frenchmen in New Orleans
In New Orleans there are Frenchmen everywhere
But your house could burn down
Or your babies could drown
Wouldn't none of them Frenchmen care
VERSE:
Everybody gather 'round
Loosen up your suspenders
Hunker down on the ground
I'm a cracker
You are too
But don't I take good care of you
PRE-CHORUS:
Who built the highway to Baton Rouge?
Who put up your hospital and built your schools?
Who is it looks after sh*t-kickers like you?
You know the Kingfish do
PRE-CHORUS:
Who gave a big party down at the Roosevelt Hotel?
Invited the whole north half of the state down for free
Everybody in the city had their eyes bugging out
'Cause everybody looked like me
CHORUS:
Here comes the Kingfish, yeah the Kingfish
Everybody sing
Here comes the Kingfish, oh the Kingfish
Make every man a king
PRE-CHORUS:
Who took on the Standard Oil men and whipped their ass
Just like he promised he'd do?
But it ain't no Standard Oil men gonna run this state
It's gonna be run by folks like me and you
CHORUS:
Here comes the Kingfish, oh the Kingfish
Friend of the working man
Here comes the Kingfish, the Kingfish
Kingfish gonna save this land
INSTRUMENTAL:
CHORUS:
Here comes the Kingfish, oh the Kingfish
Friend of the working man
Here comes the Kingfish, oh the Kingfish
Kingfish gonna save this land
INSTRUMENTAL:
