Lyrics I Will Play for Gumbo

I don't smoke
I don't shoot smack but I got a spicy monkey ridin' on my back
Don't eat beignets
Too much sugar and dough but
I will play for gumbo
Yes I will play for gumbo
It started at my grandma's in her kitchen by the sea
She warned me when she told me
Son the first one's free
It hit me like a rock or some Tae Kwon Do 'cos
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 talkin' quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes or a pound of caviar
That's a rich man's dream
No banana split or fillet of pompano no
I will play for gumbo
Yeah I will play for gumbo
Jouez, jouez
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
Maybe it's the 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
Yeah I will play for gumbo
The sauce boss does his cookin' on the stage
Stirrin' and a-singin' for his nightly wage
Sweatin' and a-frettin' from his head to his toes
Playin' and a-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
From midnight in the Quarter to noon in Thibodaux
I will play for gumbo
I will play for gumbo
Playin' and buffetin' for my gumbo
Yeah I will play for gumbo
Ah mon ami ni
Je ne vous jouer pas l'entrecôte de poulet
Ce n'est pour moi
J'adore mes gumbo
Je jouer pour le gumbo
