[Aaaah... Oooh, Aaaah... Oooh]
[Aaaah... Oooh, Aaaah... Oooh]
Now get down people and listen to me
Gonna tell you how I made history
You can call me Louie, I'm the king of France
Check out my story while you do your dance
Now in seventeen hundred and eighty nine
The peasants were starving but I was fine
We were hangin out down in old Versailles
That's the weekend pad of my queen and I
In the alleys of Paris they was eatin rats
But it was Filet Mignon for the aristocrats
There was dukes and counts and barons and earls
I gave 'em the titles but I kept the girls
Blonde, redhead, white, brunette
Ladies in wait, I didn't wait to get
There was truffles for breakfast, tarts for brunch
The lions of the Folies 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
[Aaah... Oooh, Aaah... Oooh]
Well the palace was rocking, we were doin' it good
When we heard there was some trouble in the neighborhood
I wasn't too worried, no big deal
You step out of line Jack, you're on the Bastille
The party kept swingin all day and all night
The champagne was flowin', we was feelin' all right
They were screamin' for bread, things started to shake
But Marie Antoinette said "Well let 'em eat cake"
Now the rabble wouldn't have it, they was angry and mean
They built a big old raise, they called the guillotine
Then the people all shouted "We'll have our day"
Down with dirty water give us Perrier!"
I said, "The way that you walk, things might get screwy"
But they never laid a finger on good king Louie
Just keep your cool, don't fret don't freak
Say hey [Say 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
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ra ba]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ra ba boo]
[Aaah... Ooh] Night and day comme vous voulez
[Aaah... 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 in tow
And a voice 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 gig
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]
[Ooh la la. Gee but it's good to be the king]
Well "c'est la vie" make death "la mort"
[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
[Mon Dieu, it's good to be the king]
[Ooh la la]
[Ooh, yes it's good to be the king]
[Mais oui, it's good to be the king]
Well it was good while it lasted
[You can be sure about one thing]
[Ooh la la, mais oui]
[It's good to be the king]
C'est bon d'être le roi!
C'mon you do it
You know you do it
Everybody does it
I just did it
I'm ready to do it again
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ra ba]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ba boo, ba ree ra ba boo]
[Ba ree ra ba boo]
