Rad Gumbo
Little Feat
If you walk right in off the street Take the load right off your feet
Mama bring a menu right to your seat But the bill of fare be short and sweet
Won't find no etoufee Mama never ever could cook that way
She on the same regime No neuavo quiseen
She cook gumbo...A mighty rad gumbo
It's the only way you can go
Down at the club Rad gumbo
Heads and shells they go in the stock She stirs the brew and really rocks
One gallon tailfish stock of water Man this gumbo's made to order
Two cloves of garlic finely chopped Man this party just Can't be stopped
Mama's pots a boilin' band starts to blow Piano keys flyin' like Fats Domino
She cook gumbo...A mighty rad gumbo
It's the only way you can go
Down at the club Rad gumbo
Oh no no escargo no cor-don-blu
This aint' the place to go lookin' for beef stew
But if you like tender shrimp n' rice
If you think you 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 gotta get that recipie If it means the death of me
Get my spy boy to sneak a look In Mama's book
She cook gumbo...A mighty rad gumbo It's the only way you can go TWICE
