Jimmy Buffett - I Will Play For Gumbo Lyrics
By: jimmy buffettI dont smoke I dont shoot smackBut I got a spicy monkey riding on my backDont eat beignets too much sugar and doughBut I will play for gumboHey I will play for gumboIt started in my grandmas in her kitchen by the seaShe warned me when where she told me son the first ones freeIt hit me like a rock or some taekwondoCause I will play for gumboOh yeah I will play for gumboA piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowlGood for the body, good for the soulIts a little like religion and a lot like sexYou should never know when youre gonna get it nextAt midnight in the quarter or noon in thibodauxI will play for gumboYes, I will play for gumboIm not talking quesadillas or a dozen krispy kremesOr a pile of caviar thats a rich mans dreamNo banana split or filet of pompanoNo, I will play for gumboYeah, I will play for gumboA piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowlGood for the body, good for the soulIts a little like religion and a lot like sexYou should never know when youre gonna get it nextIt could be its that sausage or those pretty pink shrimpOr that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimpMaybe its that voodoo from marie laveauBut I will play for gumboHey I will play for gumboNow the sauce boss makes his cookin on the stageSinging and a-picking for his nightly wageSweating and a frettin from his head to his toePlayin and swayin with the gumboPrayin and buffetin with the gumboA piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowlGood for the body, good for the soulIts a little like religion and a lot like sexYou should never know when youre gonna get it next>at midnight in the quarter or noon in thibodauxI will play for gumboHey I will play for gumboI will play for gumboI will play for gumbo
