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
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
The lyrics KINGFISH of RANDY NEWMAN is also present in the album Good old boys (1974)
Randy Newman (Randall Stuart Newman) è un cantautore, pianista, compositore e arrangiatore statunitense nato a Los Angeles nel 1943. Noto per il suo umorismo tagliente e la sua capacità di satireggiare temi sociali e politici, Newman ha costruito una carriera longeva e apprezzata. Le sue canzoni, spesso caratterizzate da arrangiamenti orchestrali complessi e testi ironici, hanno esplorato argomenti come la guerra, la razza, la religione e l'american dream. Tra i suoi brani più celebri figurano "Short People", "Louisiana 1927" e "You've Got a Friend in Me". Newman ha anche composto colonne sonore per film di successo come "Ragtime", "Toy Story" e "The Natural", dimostrando la sua versatilità artistica. La sua musica, spesso controversa ma sempre profondamente umana, lo ha consacrato come uno dei cantautori più influenti degli ultimi decenni.
