Your rating:
Now get down people And listen to me Gonna tell you how I made history You can call me Louis I'm the king of France Check out my story While you do your dance Now it's seventeen hundred and eighty nine The peasants were starving But I was fine We were hanging out Down in old Versailles That's the weekend pad of my queen and I In the alleys of Paris They was eating rats But it was fillet mignon For the aristocrats There was Dukes and Counts and Barons and Earls I gave them the title But I kept the girl Blond, redhead, wild, brunette Ladies in wait I didn't wait to get There was truffles for breakfast Toast for brunch The lion of the folley's version for lunch... Ooh yes it's good to be the king Ooh la la Gee but it's good to be the king Say it girls You can be sure about one thing Ooh la la Mais oui, it's good to be the king It's good to be the king Well the palace was rocking And we were doing it good When we heard there was some trouble In the neighborhood I wasn't too worried No big deal We step out of line Jack, you're near the Bastille The party kept spinning All day an dall night The champagne was flowing We were feeling all right They were screaming for breath Things started to shake But Marie Antoinette said, "We'll let 'em eat cake." Now the rapper wouldn't have it They was angry and beat They built a big old razor Called the Guillotine Then the people all shouted We'll have all day Down with dirty war Give us Perrier I said that in the war things might get screwy But they'd never lay a finger On good king Louis Just keep your cool Don't fret, don't freak Say hey Say what Say magnifico Ooh yes it's good to be the king Ooh la la Gee but it's good to be the king Your fantasy is my reality You can be sure about one thing Ooh la la Mais oui, it's good to be the king It's good to be the king Night and day Vous, vous voulez Well they broke down the gate In one massive assault And the party came to a grinding halt They took the midgets and the freakies With the girls in tote And a voice said Louis, it's time to go They put my neck on the block They took off my wig And it occured to me This was the end of the gig They asked me did I have any Last words to say Well I raised my head And I hollered hey Ooh yes it's good to be the king Ooh la la Gee but it's good to be the king Well c'est la vie Make that one more You can be sure about one thing Ooh la la Mais oui, it's good to be the king It's good to be the king Bonjour Ooh la la Ooh yes, it's good to be the king Well it was good while it lasted
