Lyrics :



Ah Ooh Ah Ooh Ah Ooh Ah Ooh



Now get down people and listen to me,

Gonna tell you how I make history

You can call me Louis I’m the king of France

Check out my story while you do your dance

Now in 1789 the peasants were starving but I was fine

We were hanging out, down in old Versailles

That’s the week end [pad] of my queen and I

In the alleys of Paris they were eating rats

But it was [filled in yum] for aristocrats

There were dukes and counts and barons and earls

I gave them the titles but I kept the girls

Blonds, red heads, wild brunettes

Ladies and waitresses I didn’t wait to get

There was ** for breakfast, ** for brunch,

The line of the Follies Bergères 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



Ah Ooh Ah Ooh



Well while Paris was rioting we were doing it good

When we heard there was some trouble in the neighborhood

I wasn’t too worried, no big deal

You step on the line, Jack, you’re in the Bastille

The party kept swinging all day and all night

The champagne was flowing we were feeling all right

They were screaming for bread, things started to shake

But Marie-Antoinette said : Well let them eat cake !

Now the ** with ** was angry at me

They built a big old razor called the guillotine

Then the people of [Châtelet] would have our day :

Down with dirty water give us Perrier !

I said ** things might get **

But they’ll never lay a finger on good king Louis

Just keep your cool don’t [fret] don’t freak

I said Hey !

Said what ?

C’est magnifique !



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.



Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pap

Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu Paria Pappu



Ooh

Night and day

Comme vous voulez

Ooh



Well they brought down the gates in one massive assault

And the party came to a grinding halt

They took the midgets and the *** with the girls and all

And the boys said : Louis, it’s time to go

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

And It occurred to me this was the end of the game

They asked me did I have any last words to say

Well I raised my head and I uttered : 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 la mort)

You can be sure about one thing

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

Ooh La La

Mais oui, it’s good to be the king

It’s good to be the king
