It gets the worst about cotton pickin' time

Common sense they leave dyin' on the vine

Money changes and the roosters fight

The house special later on that night



It's loser gumbo

Loser gumbo

Crazy people taught me everything I know



The way it is, the way it's always been

It seems a little better now and then

People lined up trying to sell their soul

Devil's on a wait list, how about a bowl



Of loser gumbo

Loser gumbo

Crazy people taught me everything I know



One up, another one down

Too close for comfort, this side of town

Don't get me started, do get me a beer

Somebody get me out of here



I wish it was, but baby, life ain't fair

I double checked it, it's the same everywhere

Any time you get a chance you should

Turn a bad thing into something good



Make the loser gumbo

Loser gumbo

Crazy people taught me everything about

Loser gumbo (what's for dinner)

Loser gumbo (sure ain't the winner)

Crazy people taught me everything I know

Everything I know
