Thought sausage fallen through your head

Bits and pieces hanging in the shed

Churnin' out links on the other side

Cut 'em up again and stir it in the sauce, stir it in the sauce





Mama's gumbo, silky fine

Papa's birthday, takin' up time

Tight little secret from my mama's side,

Use a little secret and stir it in the sauce, stir it in the sauce, stir it





Mama said "back out the kitchen 'til I'm good and ready

Stuff ain't ready yet!"





Mama's gumbo, bubblin' time,

Aw, little baby, sittin' to the side

Matter of the spatter just makin' him cry

Swipe a little drop of it and stir it in the sauce, stir it in the sauce





Thought sausage smokin' in the shed

Tickle in the kitchen just losin' that head

Laughin' out loud at supper time

One more taste and stir it in the sauce, stir it in the sauce, stir it





Mama said "get out the kitchen, daddy, 'til I'm good and ready

This stuff ain't ready yet!"





Mama said "get out the kitchen, daddy, 'til I'm good and ready

Just come and get it!"





Mama said "come on in this kitchen, daddy, 'cause I'm good and ready

Come on and get it!"
