Thought sausage fallen through your head Bits and pieces hanging in the shed Churnin' out links on the other side Cut 'em up again and stir it in the sauce, stir it in the sauce
Mama's gumbo, silky fine Papa's birthday, takin' up time Tight little secret from my mama's side, Use a little secret and stir it in the sauce, stir it in the sauce, stir it
Mama said "back out the kitchen 'til I'm good and ready Stuff ain't ready yet!"
Mama's gumbo, bubblin' time, Aw, little baby, sittin' to the side Matter of the spatter just makin' him cry Swipe a little drop of it and stir it in the sauce, stir it in the sauce
Thought sausage smokin' in the shed Tickle in the kitchen just losin' that head Laughin' out loud at supper time One more taste and stir it in the sauce, stir it in the sauce, stir it
Mama said "get out the kitchen, daddy, 'til I'm good and ready This stuff ain't ready yet!"
Mama said "get out the kitchen, daddy, 'til I'm good and ready Just come and get it!"
Mama said "come on in this kitchen, daddy, 'cause I'm good and ready Come on and get it!"
