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