Lyrics

If you walk right in off the street
You can take the load right off your feet
Mama, bring the menu to your seat
But the bill of fare be short and sweet
Won't find no étouffée
Mama never ever could cook it that way
She's all Ancien Régime
No nouvelle cuisine
She cook gumbo
A mighty rad gumbo
It's the only way she can go
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo
Heads and shells stay in the stock
She stirs her roux and really rocks
One gallon of shellfish stock or water
Man, this gumbo is made to order
Two toes of garlic finely chopped
Man this party just can't be stopped
Mama's pots are boiling, the band starts to blow
Piano keys are 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 mama'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 mama'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
