JIMMY BUFFETT - I Will Play For Gumbo lyrics

rate me

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
