    BUY THE SINGLE! thecogisdead.b...
    Album coming December 1st. Pre-order now at www.thecogisdead.com
    LYRICS:
    There's a lady on the bayou that I know
    And she always makes the tastiest gumbo
    They say it's good for foggy brains
    It takes away your aches and pains
    You just gotta know which way to go
    Now this lady's fixing folks like you and me
    Her stew could make a blind man start to see
    This ain't no hoax or magic cure
    Just lots of herbs so fine and pure
    A special secret family recipe:
    So come and
    Get yourself a helping of that
    Gumbo from the pot
    It's good for all that ails you
    And it's sure to hit the spot
    It's full of all them secret things
    You'll only find in New Orleans
    So hurry up and get it while it's hot!
    Well the people travel here from near and far
    Some in old steam boats or motor cars
    They flocking here from all around
    Just to eat that gumbo down!
    While grandpere sits and plays his old guitar
    One day in walked a gentleman of fame
    Professor Elemental was his name
    He said, "Hello, my lovely dear!
    I've come to taste your gumbo here!"
    And after that he never was the same!
    Get yourself a helping of that
    Gumbo from the pot
    It's good for all that ails you
    And it's sure to hit the spot
    It's full of all them secret things
    You'll only find in New Orleans
    So hurry up and get it while it's hot!
    PROFESSOR:
    I've never been excited by a bite like this
    My insides were ignited then fried to a crisp
    Like the kiss of a stranger arrived on my lips
    I started jiving my thighs to my hips
    I feel ten years younger! This incredible tipple
    Gave me x-ray vision and an extra nipple
    So come where some know fun to make your tongue blow
    Something funny for your tummy, loads of lovely gumbo
    Get yourself a helping of that
    Gumbo from the pot
    It's good for all that ails you
    And it's sure to hit the spot
    It's full of all them secret things
    You'll only find in New Orleans
    So hurry up and get it while it's hot!

    :D Awesome song! XD But as a cajun, I have to protest at the gumbo being referred to as stew. It's not the same thing! lol That's a big mistake non-cajuns out there make in trying to figure it out. It's not stew.

    • @NecrochildK
      @NecrochildK Před 8 lety +5

      Hehe, not to nitpick, but I should note, there's far more creole than cajun in New Orleans. Cajun tends to be more south central Louisiana, around Lafayette, Abbeville, New Iberia, Opelousas. XD Just throwing out the facts most people tend to not be aware of because of stereotyping.

    • @morphman86
      @morphman86 Před 5 lety +5

      It's a bit like how non-Caribbean people try to figure out a jerk and call it a barbeque or non-Swedes trying to figure out surströmming and call it fermented herring or non-Danish people calling pølse "red sausage". Very localized food can be tricky to figure out sometimes, and it's very hard for someone who's actually in on the "secret" to watch as others keep misunderstanding it.

    Ohhh. I really hate to say this John & Co, but this really rather disappointed me. I came from the video of the childrens performance of the song, looking forward to a pristine recording with your amazing vocals- but you really kinda overdid it here. The lyrics are great, and the song is fun, but your delivery of these lines is too exaggerated for me to enjoy. It removes the musicality of your voice, and doesn't do the song justice. Instead of sounding like you are singing about some gumbo you once had, you sound like you are playing a character who had some gumbo once. I'll just quietly petiton that you try and manage a rerecording of this one, as I know you can do better.
