The Gumbo Song (feat. Professor Elemental)

There's a lady on the bayou that I know
And she always makes the tastiest gumbo
They say it's good for foggy brains
It takes away your aches and pains
You just gotta know which way to go

Now this lady's fixing folks like you and me
Her stew could make a blind man start to see
This ain't no hoax or magic cure
Just lots of herbs so fine and pure
A special secret family recipe:

So come and
Get yourself a helping of that
Gumbo from the pot
It's good for all that ails you
And it's sure to hit the spot

It's full of all them secret things
You'll only find in New Orleans
So hurry up and get it while it's hot!

Well the people travel here from near and far
Some in old steam boats or motor cars
They flocking here from all around
Just to eat that gumbo down!
While grandpere sits and plays his old guitar

One day in walked a gentleman of fame
Professor Elemental was his name
He said, "Hello, my lovely dear!
I've come to taste your gumbo here!"
And after that he never was the same!

Get yourself a helping of that
Gumbo from the pot
It's good for all that ails you
And it's sure to hit the spot

It's full of all them secret things
You'll only find in New Orleans
So hurry up and get it while it's hot!

I've never been excited by a bite like this
My insides were ignited then fried to a crisp
Like the kiss of a stranger arrived on my lips
I started jiving my thighs to my hips

I feel ten years younger! This incredible tipple
Gave me x-ray vision and an extra nipple
So come where some know fun to make your tongue blow
Something funny for your tummy, loads of lovely gumbo

Get yourself a helping of that
Gumbo from the pot
It's good for all that ails you
And it's sure to hit the spot

It's full of all them secret things
You'll only find in New Orleans
So hurry up and get it while it's hot!
