There's a lady on the bayou that I know

And she always makes the tastiest gumbo

Well the people travel here from near and far
C                G
Some in old steamboats or motor cars
C            C7
They flocking here from all around
F        F*
Just to eat that gumbo down!
C            G        C
While grandpere sits and plays his old guitar

C                F
One day in walked a gentleman of fame (Hello)
C              G
Professor Elemental was his name
C          C7
He said, "Hello, my lovely dear!
F            F*
I've come to taste your gumbo here!"

So hurry up and get it while it's hot!


Professor Elemental:
C
I've never been excited by a bite like this
F
My insides were ignited then fried to a crisp
C
Like the kiss of a stranger arrived on my lips
G
I started jiving my thighs to my hips
C             C7
I feel ten years younger! This incredible tipple
F          F*
Gave me x-ray vision and an extra nipple
C            G
So come where some know fun to make your tongue blow
C
Something funny for your tummy, loads of lovely gumbo


🎸 Chorus:
C
Get yourself a helping of that
F
Gumbo from the pot
C
It's good for all that ails you
     G
And it's sure to hit the spot (Oh yeah)

C           C7
It's full of all them secret things
F          F*
You'll only find in New Orleans
C        G         C
So hurry up and get it while it's hot!


Professor Elemental:

I mean it is boiling
C           C7
It's full of all them secret things
F          F*
You'll only find in New Orleans
C        G         C
So hurry up and get it while it's hot!

 N.C.
(Yo, that is some mighty fine gumbo right there)


Professor Elemental:
N.C.
Is there any more?

Ah – I think  I – I – I think this is –

It's enabled me to fly
N.C.
And I can see through walls

But I don't feel terribly well

Oh dear
