Louis the Sixteenth was the King of France in 1789
He was worse than Louis the Fifteenth
He was worse than Louis the Fourteenth
He was worse than Louis the Thirteenth
He was the worst since Louis the First
King Louis was living like a king, but the people were living rotten
So the people, they started an uprising which they called the French Revolution, and of course you remember their battle cry, which will never be forgotten:
You went the wrong way, Old King Louie
You made the population cry
'Cause all you did was sit and pet
With Marie Antoinette
In your place at Versailles
And now the country's gone kablooie
So we are giving you the air
That oughta teach you not to
Spend all your time fooling 'round
At the Folies Bergere
If you had been a nicer king
We wouldn't do a thing
But you were bad, you must admit
We're gonna take you and the Queen
Down to the guillotine
And shorten you a little bit
He was worse than Louis the Fifteenth
He was worse than Louis the Fourteenth
He was worse than Louis the Thirteenth
He was the worst since Louis the First
King Louis was living like a king, but the people were living rotten
So the people, they started an uprising which they called the French Revolution, and of course you remember their battle cry, which will never be forgotten:
You went the wrong way, Old King Louie
You made the population cry
'Cause all you did was sit and pet
With Marie Antoinette
In your place at Versailles
And now the country's gone kablooie
So we are giving you the air
That oughta teach you not to
Spend all your time fooling 'round
At the Folies Bergere
If you had been a nicer king
We wouldn't do a thing
But you were bad, you must admit
We're gonna take you and the Queen
Down to the guillotine
And shorten you a little bit
