G      Bm
Ooh Ah Ooh, I'll take Jon Marie, haa
Em B Bm                  B   G   A  F#m
Ooh,    Step up here, Ooh,   Ah, Ooh


[Verse 1]
F#m          D
Now get down people and listen to me
                          E
Gonna tell you how I made history
                              G
You can call me Louis, I'm the king of France
G
Check out my story while you do your dance
       D
Now in seventeen hundred and eighty-nine
E
The peasants were starving, but I was fine
        D
We were hanging out, down in old Versailles
D
That's the week end pad of my Queen and I
       Bm                       D
In the alleys of Paris they was eating rats
D
But it was filet mignon for the aristocrats
                                G
There were Dukes and Counts and Barons and Earls
F#m
I gave them the titles but I kept the girls
D
Blondes, red heads, wild brunettes
E
Ladies-in-waitin', I didn't wait to get
D
There was truffles for breakfast, toast for brunch
A                      B
The line of the Folies Bergère for lunch


[Chorus]
Em             Bm
(Ooh yes, it's good to be the King)
Bm
(Ooh La La)
 D             G              A
(Gee, but it's good to be the King)
Bm
Say it girls
            G              B
(You can be sure about one thing)
 B
(Ooh La La)
 E              G              A   F#m
(Mais oui, it's good to be the king)
F#                      D
It's good to be the king
D
Ooh, Come on baby fill it up,
                   E
Ah, Ooh meet at my chambers if you like


[Verse 2]
D
Well if Paris was rioting, they were doing it good
                                            E
When we heard there was some trouble in the neighborhood
                      D
I wasn't too worried, no big deal
D
You step out the line, Jack, you're in the Bastille
Bm                          D
The party kept swinging all day and all night
                                  E
The champagne was flowing, we was feeling all right
          D
They were screaming for bread, things started to shake
D
But Marie-Antoinette said (Well let 'em eat cake!)
D
Now the rabble wouldn't have it, they was angry with me
             E
They built a big old razor called the guillotine
         D                    G
Then the people all shouted, "We'll have our day"
                                D
"Down with dirty water, give us Perrier!"
D
I said the more you want, things might get screwy
                                  E
But they'll never lay a finger on good King Louis
                           A
Just keep your cool, don't fret, don't freak
A
I say Hey!
A
(Say what?)
      B
C'est magnifique!

(Gee, but it's good to be the king)
             Bm         D
Your fantasy is my reality
                           E
(You can be sure about one thing)
 B
(Ooh La La)
 D                             A    F#

[Verse 3]
Bm                                   D
Well they broke down the gate in one massive assault
D
And the party came to a grinding halt
                                                G
They took the midgets and the freakies with the girls and all
        F#m                     E
And the boys said, "Louis, it's time to go"
D
They put my neck on the block, they took off my wig
D
And It occurred to me this was the end of the gig
D
They asked me did I have any last words to say
        A                    Bm
Well, I raised my head and I hollered "Hey!"


[Chorus]

Well c'est la vie, make that la mort
