Le Grand Deluge

‘Louisiana 2016’ subtitled “Le Grand Deluge”
Respectful Parody of Randy Newman

What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds came in from the South and it started to rain
Rained real hard and it made for a Grand Deluge
Six feet of water in the streets of Baton Rouge

The rivers rose all day, An den dey rose all night
Few people got lost in the flood; Mos’ people got away alright
I-12 barriers held the rivers to the North of things
Six feet of water in the streets of Denham Springs

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away, They're tryin' to wash us away

Den Obama came down in Air Force One
Thin black man with a golf club in his hand
Obama say, "Hey, Miss Hillary isn't it a shame
what the rivers have done to this damn cracker’s land."

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away, They're tryin' to wash us away
