Kingfish - Randy Newman

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
