lyrics

Okay, I'm back the way I used to be.
True to the flavor of my real ID.
So, the R-O-Q is new to you?
That's okay, I'll tell you how I came to be…

When the curds of the ewes of the Lacaune, got left behind
in the Combalu caves, while the shepherd boy he chased the maid.
And there in the cool earth alchemy - in the chemistry -
the peni roqueforti, they all come together and out come me!

Rock-the-Roque, the king of cheese
Rock-the-Roque, the cheese of kings.
Rock-the-Roque, the king of cheese
Rock-the-Roque, the cheese of kings.

From the south of France, I extend my reach,
over the lands, across the seas.
Tables, plates, picnics and cafes;
I was on the up, and on everyone's tongue.

In the heady days of the 70's,
I was everywhere a cheese could be;
from the common folk to the royalty,
even dining room diplomacy.

At the White House across Mrs. Nixon's Endive;
once in her mouth, she could not hide.
Head back… eyes closed… she knew what every woman knows:
once you've been with the Roque, that's how it goes!

Rock-the-Roque, the king of cheese
Rock-the-Roque, the cheese of kings.
Rock-the-Roque, the king of cheese
Rock-the-Roque, the cheese of kings.

Well, life is life, and the pace it quickens there bastardized
in a thousand kitchens with salt, oil, powdered whey.
There on ice at the Ho Jo buffet, lined up like a harlot
next to that little, orange slut French… it was gut-wrenching!

I don't even want to talk about what they do to me at the IHOP,
they change my name ‘Bleu Cheese’, you know I let them!
I forgot who I was… yes, I forgot… I forgot who I was all that merde
about market share and Ranch taking over.

Ohrgh, I hit bottom… But wait!

The E.U. make the rule that says the origin must be true
to the name, which means the real ROQ is back in the game. Yes, indeed.
So, the message for you and me:
be true to you are!

Rock-the-Roque, the king of cheese
Rock-the-Roque, the cheese of kings.
Rock-the-Roque, the king of cheese
Rock-the-Roque, the cheese of kings.
