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
You came the wrong way, Old King Louie
And now you ain't got far to go
Too bad you won't be here to see
That great big Eiffel Tower,
Or Brigitte Bardot"
--Allan Sherman
