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
    B minorBm            D MajorD
In the alleys of Paris they was eating rats

But it was filet mignon for the aristocrats

There were Dukes and Counts and Barons and Earls

I gave them the titles but I kept the girls

Blondes, red heads, wild brunettes

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