Song Lyrics

Breaux Bridge Betty called me up on the party line
Said, "Baby I just gotta know,
If you got some-a-dat "Make me feel so fine",
I'm talking about that Filé Gumbo

I said, "Betty, I know I got what you gotta have,
I made some just a little while ago
He's got a black pot roux and some ground up sassafras,
Homemade Filé Gumbo"

Bring that girl some -a-dat Filé Gumbo
Bring that girl a plate
Bring that girl some-a-dat Filé Gumbo
Hurry up before it's too late

I quiver and I shiver from the feeling it delivers,
And I keep coming back for a little more.
It's got the right spice to make me feel so nice
My Louisiana Filé Gumbo

So if you down in the dump and you're stuck in a slump,
And you're looking up the wrong end of the blues
Have yourself some-a-dat Filé Gumbo
More better than that chicken barbecue

Bring that boy some -a-dat Filé Gumbo,
Bring that boy a plate
Bring that boy some-a-dat Filé Gumbo
Hurry up before it's too late

Gumbo filé makes me feel so good
Though I eat it more often than I really should
But if I could I surely would have some more gumbo

Bring that girl some -a-dat Filé Gumbo
Bring that girl a plate
Bring that girl some-a-dat Filé Gumbo
Hurry up before it's too late

Bring that boy some -a-dat Filé Gumbo,
Bring that boy a plate yeah yeah yeah
Bring that boy some-a-dat Filé Gumbo
Hurry up before it's too late

I said
Hurry up before it's too late
Come on
Hurry up before it's too

You're right about that
