|
If you walk in right off the street |
|
You can take the load right off your feet |
|
Mamma bring the menu to your seat |
|
But the bill of fare be short & Seet |
|
Won't find no etouffe |
|
Mamm never ever could cook that way |
|
She's all ancien regime |
|
No nouvell cuisine |
|
She's cooking gumbo |
|
A mighty rad gumbo |
|
It's the only way she can go |
|
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo |
|
Now the heads and shells stay in the stock |
|
She stirs her roux and really rocks |
|
One gallon shellfish stock or water |
|
Man this gumbo is made to order |
|
Two toes of garlick finely chopped |
|
Man this party just can't be stopped |
|
Mamma's pots are boiling, band starts to blow |
|
Piano keys flying like Fats Domino |
|
She's cooking gumbo |
|
A mighty rad gumbo |
|
It's the only way she can go |
|
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo |
|
Oh no, no escargot, no cordon bleu |
|
This ain't the place to go lookin' for beef stew |
|
But if you like tender shrimp and rice |
|
If ya think ya can stand the spice |
|
She's cooking gumbo |
|
A mighty rad gumbo |
|
Now people come from miles around |
|
To see what Mamma's puttin' down |
|
Everybody knows her name |
|
She in the seafood hall of fame |
|
I gotta get that recipe |
|
If it means the death of me |
|
Get my spyboy to sneak a look |
|
Into Mamma's book |
|
She's cooking gumbo |
|
A mighty rad gumbo |
|
It's the only way she can go |
|
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo |
|
She's cooking gumbo |
|
A mighty rad gumbo |
|
It's the only way she can go |
|
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo |
