I Will Play for Gumbo
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
