Bill Payne, Paul Barrere, Martin Kibbee, Sam Clayton, Ken Gradney, Neon Park If you walk in 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 & sweet Won't find no etouffe Mamm never ever could cook it that way She's all ancien regime No nouvell cuisine She cook 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 a flying like Fats Domino She cook 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 cook gumbo A mighty rad gumbo Now the people come from miles around Dig what Mamma's puttin' down Everybody knows her name She in the seafood hall of fame I got to get that recipe If it means the death of me Get my spyboy to sneak a look Into Mamma's book She cook gumbo A mighty rad gumbo It's the only way she can go Down at the Club Rad Gumbo She cook gumbo A mighty rad gumbo It's the only way she can go Down at the Club Rad Gumbo
