Mama Odie’s Kitchen Song
We've been simmerin' all day
Like a pot of rice and beans
Now it's comin' along
Gotta season an' salt

With the flavor of New Orleans
And let you whip up a little zydeco
And roll in all that jazz
Infuse with the blues and here we go

This party's got the flavor
Come on and pull up a seat at the table
It won't be too long now
We been cookin' up this rhythm

And stirrin' up the south
We're gonna taste
That good ol' snare drum
And crack it nice and loud

Gonna bring it to a boil
And keep on dishin'
If you can't take the beat
Get out of the kitchen

Yeah, you got it, baby
Mama gon' feed you now
Watch out
I was servin' up this feast
And there's plenty here for you
Trust the spoon
You're gonna love this tune

And here's what you need to do
Come on and pull up a seat at the table
It won't be too long now
We been cookin' up this rhythm, oh yeah

And stirrin' up the South
Whoo, we're gonna taste
That good ol' snare drum
And crack it nice and loud

Gonna bring it to a boil
And keep on dishin'
If you can't take the beat
Get out of the kitchen

Uh, hear those drumsticks
That's it, baby, that's it
Play down that bouilla-bass
And salt and pepper add it

Right there, right there
Whoo, that sounds so good
Good taste with everything
Oh, come on
And pull up a seat at the table
It won't be too long now
We been cookin' up this rhythm, oh yeah
And stirrin' up the South

We're gonna single out the cymbal
And the rushin', spinnin' 'round

We're gonna bring it to a boil
And keep on dishin'
If you can't take the beat
Get out of the kitchen

Go, get out of the kitchen
I said, go, get out of the kitchen
'Cause I'm makin' me some gumbo
