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
