I Will Play for Gumbo Lyrics |

 by: Jimmy Buffett I don`t smoke I don`t shoot smack But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back Don`t eat beignets too much sugar and dough But I will play for gumbo Hey I will play for gumbo It started in my grandma`s in her kitchen by the sea She warned me when where she told me "son the first one`s free" It hit me like a rock or some TaeKwonDo Cause I will play for gumbo Oh Yeah I will play for gumbo A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl Good for the body, good for the soul It`s a little like religion and a lot like sex You should never know when you`re gonna get it next At midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux I will play for gumbo Yes, I will play for gumbo I`m not talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes Or a pile of caviar that`s a rich man`s dream No banana split or filet of pompano No, I will play for gumbo Yeah, I will play for gumbo A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl Good for the body, good for the soul It`s a little like religion and a lot like sex You should never know when you`re gonna get it next It could be it`s that sausage or those pretty pink shrimp Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp Maybe it`s that voodoo from Marie Laveau But I will play for gumbo Hey I will play for gumbo Now the Sauce Boss makes his cookin` on the stage Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage Sweating and a frettin` from his head to his toe Playin` and swayin` with the gumbo Prayin` and buffetin` with the gumbo A piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl Good for the body, good for the soul It`s a little like religion and a lot like sex You should never know when you`re gonna get it next >At midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux I will play for gumbo Hey I will play for gumbo I will play for gumbo I will play for gumbo |
