If you walk in off the street

You can take the load right off your feet

Mamma bring the menu to your seat

But the bill of fare be short & sweet



Won't find no etouffe

Mamm never ever could cook it that way

She's all ancien regime

No nouvell cuisine



She cook gumbo

A mighty rad gumbo

It's the only way she can go

Down at the Club Rad Gumbo



Now the heads and shells stay in the stock

She stirs her roux and really rocks

One gallon shellfish stock or water

Man this gumbo is made to order



Two toes of garlick finely chopped

Man this party just can't be stopped

Mamma's pots are boiling, band starts to blow

Piano keys a flying like Fats Domino



She cook gumbo

A mighty rad gumbo

It's the only way she can go

Down at the Club Rad Gumbo



Oh no, no escargot, no cordon bleu

This ain't the place to go lookin' for beef stew

But if you like tender shrimp and rice

If ya think ya can stand the spice



She cook gumbo

A mighty rad gumbo



Now the people come from miles around

Dig what Mamma's puttin' down

Everybody knows her name

She in the seafood hall of fame



I got to get that recipe

If it means the death of me

Get my spyboy to sneak a look

Into Mamma's book



She cook gumbo

A mighty rad gumbo

It's the only way she can go

Down at the Club Rad Gumbo



She cook gumbo

A mighty rad gumbo

It's the only way she can go

Down at the Club Rad Gumbo
