| I dont smoke I dont shoot smack
|
| But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back
|
| Dont eat beignets too much sugar and dough
|
| But I will play for gumbo
|
| Hey I will play for gumbo
|
| It started in my grandmas in her kitchen by the sea
|
| She warned me when where she told me «son the first ones free»
|
| It hit me like a rock or some taekwondo
|
| Cause I will play for gumbo
|
| Oh yeah I will play for gumbo
|
| A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
|
| Good for the body, good for the soul
|
| Its a little like religion and a lot like sex
|
| You should never know when youre gonna get it next
|
| At midnight in the quarter or noon in thibodaux
|
| I will play for gumbo
|
| Yes, I will play for gumbo
|
| Im not talking quesadillas or a dozen krispy kremes
|
| Or a pile of caviar thats a rich mans dream
|
| No banana split or filet of pompano
|
| No, I will play for gumbo
|
| Yeah, I will play for gumbo
|
| A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
|
| Good for the body, good for the soul
|
| Its a little like religion and a lot like sex
|
| You should never know when youre gonna get it next
|
| It could be its that sausage or those pretty pink shrimp
|
| Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp
|
| Maybe its that voodoo from marie laveau
|
| But I will play for gumbo
|
| Hey I will play for gumbo
|
| Now the sauce boss makes his cookin on the stage
|
| Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage
|
| Sweating and a frettin from his head to his toe
|
| Playin and swayin with the gumbo
|
| Prayin and buffetin with the gumbo
|
| A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
|
| Good for the body, good for the soul
|
| Its a little like religion and a lot like sex
|
| You should never know when youre gonna get it next
|
| >at midnight in the quarter or noon in thibodaux
|
| I will play for gumbo
|
| Hey I will play for gumbo
|
| I will play for gumbo
|
| I will play for gumbo |
