===============================
I don't smoke, I don't shoot smack
But I got a spicy monkey ridin' on my back
Don't eat beignets, too much sugar and dough
But I will play for gumbo
Yes, I will play for gumbo
It started in my grandma's, in her kitchen by the sea
She warned me when where she told me, "Son, the first one's free"
It hit me like a rock or some Taekwondo
'Cause I will play for gumbo
Oh yeah, I will play for gumbo
A piece of French bread with which to wipe my bowl
Good for the body, good for the soul
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex
You should never know when you're gonna get it next
From midnight in the Quarter to noon in Thibodaux
I will play for gumbo, yes, I will play for gumbo
I'm not talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kreme's
Or a pile of caviar, that's a rich man's dream
No banana split or filet of pompano
No, I will play for gumbo
Yeah, I will play for gumbo
A piece of French bread with which to wipe my bowl
Good for the body, good for the soul
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex
You should never know when you're gonna get it next
Maybe it's that sausage or those pretty pink shrimp
Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp
Maybe it's that voodoo from Marie Laveau
But I will play for gumbo
Yeah, I will play for gumbo
The sauce boss does his cookin' on the stage
Stirrin' and a-singin' for his nightly wage
Sweating and a frettin' from his head to his toe
Playin' and swayin' with the gumbo
Prayin' and buffetin' with the gumbo
A piece of French bread with which to wipe my bowl
Good for the body, good for the soul
It's a little like religion and a lot like sex
You should never know when you're gonna get it next
From midnight in the Quarter to noon in Thibodaux
I will play for gumbo, I will play for gumbo
Playin' and buffetin' for my gumbo
Yeah, I will play for gumbo
