Little Feat - Rad Gumbo Lyrics
Bill Payne, Paul Barrere, Martin Kibbee, Sam Clayton, Ken Gradney, Neon ParkIf you walk in off the streetYou can take the load right off your feetMamma bring the menu to your seatBut the bill of fare be short & sweetWon't find no etouffeMamm never ever could cook it that wayShe's all ancien regimeNo nouvell cuisineShe cook gumboA mighty rad gumboIt's the only way she can goDown at the Club Rad GumboNow the heads and shells stay in the stockShe stirs her roux and really rocksOne gallon shellfish stock or waterMan this gumbo is made to orderTwo toes of garlick finely choppedMan this party just can't be stoppedMamma's pots are boiling, band starts to blowPiano keys a flying like Fats DominoShe cook gumboA mighty rad gumboIt's the only way she can goDown at the Club Rad GumboOh no, no escargot, no cordon bleuThis ain't the place to go lookin' for beef stewBut if you like tender shrimp and riceIf ya think ya can stand the spiceShe cook gumboA mighty rad gumboNow the people come from miles aroundDig what Mamma's puttin' downEverybody knows her nameShe in the seafood hall of fameI got to get that recipeIf it means the death of meGet my spyboy to sneak a lookInto Mamma's bookShe cook gumboA mighty rad gumboIt's the only way she can goDown at the Club Rad GumboShe cook gumboA mighty rad gumboIt's the only way she can goDown at the Club Rad Gumbo
