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!"
