Mel Brooks - It's Good To Be The King 12" extended version

Extended version from the 12", with great synth, guitar and bass solo.

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

Mel Brook made history in the hip hop world when this song went gold.. He is first caucasian to make a rap song that went gold... Not only that... he's is first person over the age of 50 to make a gold hit rap song which still stands today...
