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
