Rad Gumbo Lyrics

Rad Gumbo lyrics

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
