[Verse 2] Caught three garden gnomes just wandering by my fen Told them they was welcome — didn't mention when Borrowed their red hats for decoration on the wall Now they're in the gumbo — decorating y'all Carrots from the riverbank, thick and sweet and long Threw in some swamp herbs, sang my cooking song Lightning bugs for lighting, fireflies on the breeze Finest dining south of the old haunted trees [Pre-Chorus] Oh the bayou's warm tonight And my kettle's singing right Ain't no better life than this Down in the swamp's sweet abyss [Chorus] Gumbo night in the swamp, y'all come on down Finest troll cuisine in any soggy town Pull up a lily pad, grab yourself a bowl Gnome and carrot gumbo — good for the soul Hey hey hey — gumbo night! [Bridge — banjo breakdown, half spoken] Now people say I'm antisocial Say I'm rough and mean and foul But I throw the finest dinner party South of any haunted owl You want culture? I got culture You want class? I got class Just don't ask me what the secret is In the gumbo — or I'll— [Beat] ...add more carrots [Final Chorus — full force, brass and guitar and banjo all in] Gumbo night in the swamp, y'all come on down Finest troll cuisine in any soggy town Pull up a lily pad, grab yourself a bowl Gnome and carrot gumbo — good for the soul Best night in the bayou I have ever known Even trolls need company — even trolls need... family Hey hey hey — gumbo night! [Outro — swamp rock groove fades] Y'all come back now Same time next season Bring your own gnomes [Single banjo note fades into swamp sounds] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A swamp rock anthem about a troll who throws the finest dinner party in the bayou — a slow morning preparing gnome and carrot gumbo, guests arriving at sundown, lightning bugs for lighting and lily pads for seating. Rough around the edges but genuinely hospitable, the troll reveals that even the most antisocial creature in the swamp needs company now and then. New Orleans swagger meets hard rock energy meets banjo — muddy, groovy and unexpectedly charming. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2026 Ande Records Lyrics by Ande All rights reserved. https://ande-records.se/
