Lyrics
Goodtime Gumbo
© A Hobler 2006
Verse 1
Revvin? up my pick-up truck
Headin? down south today
I got some friends I want to see
Down New Orleans way
Heaps of room for every one
Throw your stuff in the back
I can?t wait to get down there and find the gumbo shack
Chorus
Goodtime Gumbo waitin? for the big parade
Goodtime Gumbo, coffee at the corner café
Goodtime Gumbo, man this chilli?s hot
Goodtime Gumbo, stirrin? big mamas pot
Verse 2
Mama she?s up early
Goes to the market to find
Stuff to cook and beer to drink,
Chillies of every kind
Puts it in to the back of her car
Then drives that well worn track
I can?t wait to get down there big mamas gumbo shack
Chorus
Goodtime Gumbo waitin? for the big parade
Goodtime Gumbo, coffee at the corner café
Goodtime Gumbo, man this chilli?s hot
Goodtime Gumbo, stirrin? big mamas pot
Instrumental
Chorus X 2
Goodtime Gumbo waitin? for the big parade
Goodtime Gumbo, coffee at the corner café
Goodtime Gumbo, man this chilli?s hot
Goodtime Gumbo, stirrin? big mamas pot
Verse 3
Made it all the way to New Orleans
Where would you rather be
Found my friends down at the Quarter
Still waitin? for me
Heaps of room for everyone
Throw your stuff in the back
Got a date, just can?t wait
Big Mamas Gumbo Shack
Chorus
Goodtime Gumbo waitin? for the big parade
Goodtime Gumbo, coffee at the corner café
Goodtime Gumbo, man this chilli?s hot
Goodtime Gumbo, stirrin? big mamas pot
