It's Good to Be the King

Now get down people and listen to me

Now get down people and listen to me

You can call me Louis, I'm the King of France

You can call me Louis, I'm the king of France

Now in seventeen hundred and eighty-nine

The peasants were starving, but I was fine

We were hanging out, down in old Versailles

We were hanging out, down on old Versailles

That's the weekend pad of my queen and I

In the alleys of Paris they was eating rats

There was Dukes and Counts and Barons and Earls

There was Dukes and Counts and Barons and Earls

I gave them the titles, but I kept the girls

Ladies-in-waiting, I didn't wait to get

There was truffles for breakfast, toast for brunch

There was truffles for breakfast, toast for brunch

The line of the Folies Bergere for lunch

Ooh yes, it's good to be the king

Ooh, la, la

Say it girls

You can be sure about one thing

You can be sure about one thing

Ooh, la, la

Mais oui, it's good to be the king

Well the palace was rocking, we were doing it good

When we heard there was some trouble in the neighborhood

Well the palace was rockin', we were doing it good

You step out the line, Jack, you're in the Bastille

The party kept swinging all day and all night

You step out of line Jack, you're in the Bastille

They were screaming for bread, things started to shake

The champagne was flowing, we was feeling alright

They were screaming for bread, things started to shake

They built a big old razor called the guillotine

Then the people all shouted, "We'll have our day!"

They built a big ol' razor called a guillotine

Then the people all shouted, we'll have our day

Down with dirty water, give us Perrier

Just keep your cool, don't fret, don't freak

I say hey!

Say what?

I say, hey (Say what?) c'est magnifque

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

Ooh

Well they broke down the gate in one massive assault

Ooh

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 and tow

And it occurred to me this was the end of the gig

They put my neck on the block, they took off my wig

Well I raised my head and I hollered, "Hey!"

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

Well c'est la vie, make that la mort

You can be sure about one thing

Well c'est la vie, make that la mort

You can be sure about one thing

Ooh, la, la

Mais oui, it's good to be the king

Ooh la la

Ooh yes, it's good to be the King

Well it was good while it lasted

We can be sure about one thing

Well, it was good while it lasted

We can be sure about one thing

Ooh, la, la

Mais oui, it's good to be the king

You know you do it

Everybody does it

You know you do it

Everybody does it

I just did it, I'm ready to do it again

Now get down people and listen to me

You can call me Louis, I'm the King of France

You can call me Louis, I'm the king of France
