Karaoké I Will Play for Gumbo Jimmy Buffett

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
