The Gumbo Song (feat. Professor Elemental)

There's a lady on the bayou that I know

And she always makes the tastiest gumbo

They say it's good for foggy brains

It takes away your aches and pains

You just gotta know which way to go

Now this lady's fixing folks like you and me

Her stew could make a blind man start to see

This ain't no hoax or magic cure

Just lots of herbs so fine and pure

A special secret family recipe:

So come and

Get yourself a helping of that

Gumbo from the pot

It's good for all that ails you

And it's sure to hit the spot

It's full of all them secret things

You'll only find in New Orleans

So hurry up and get it while it's hot!

Well the people travel here from near and far

Some in old steam boats or motor cars

They flocking here from all around

Just to eat that gumbo down!

While grandpere sits and plays his old guitar

One day in walked a gentleman of fame

Professor Elemental was his name

He said, "Hello, my lovely dear!

I've come to taste your gumbo here!"

And after that he never was the same!

Get yourself a helping of that

Gumbo from the pot

It's good for all that ails you

And it's sure to hit the spot

It's full of all them secret things

You'll only find in New Orleans

So hurry up and get it while it's hot!

I've never been excited by a bite like this

My insides were ignited then fried to a crisp

Like the kiss of a stranger arrived on my lips

I started jiving my thighs to my hips

I feel ten years younger! This incredible tipple

Gave me x-ray vision and an extra nipple

So come where some know fun to make your tongue blow

Something funny for your tummy, loads of lovely gumbo

Get yourself a helping of that

Gumbo from the pot

It's good for all that ails you

And it's sure to hit the spot

It's full of all them secret things

You'll only find in New Orleans

So hurry up and get it while it's hot!
