Does anyone know what the song is from the late 60's to mid 70's about a poor man who disguises himself as a sultan or prince to get with the prince's girl? Some lyrics go "replete in years and riches".... "no other sons of britches." Just can't remember who did it or what its name is. Thanks.

Music from Marco Pierre White's Hell's Kitchen programme?

The song is on "Biff Rose Half Live at the Bitter End" Buddah Records 1970. Rose is a singer/songwriter/entertainer from New Orleans who worked as a comedy sketch writer with George Carlin, among others, in the 60's.
