Dr. Facilier went down to New Orleans, He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind, he was way behind, and he was lookin' ta make a deal
When he came across a restaurant with Tiana servin' gumbo up piping hot
Facilier appeared on the chandelier and said,"Girl, lemme tell ya what!
"I bet you didn't know it, but the Shadow Man's a chef too.
"And if you dare, Tiana chère, I'll make a deal with you.
"You make a pretty mean gumbo, gal, but against the Shadow Man's brew.
"A gumbo pot of gold against your soul says I make mine better than you."
She answered "I'm Tiana and my gumbo's more than mean
"I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret. I'm the best in New Orleans!"
Tia better stoke that stove and be ready to work hard
Cause the Other Side is talkin' and Facilier reads the cards
And if you win, you'll get a gumbo pot all full of gold
But if you lose, Facilier gets your soul
The Shadow Man went to his pot and said "I'll start this show!"
And he snapped his fingers and poured in shrimp and Tabasco.
And he threw it on the fire and it made an evil hiss
And his shadow demons joined in and it tasted somethin' like this
(Instrumental)
When she tasted it, Tiana said, "Not bad, but it's my turn.
"So sit yourself down Shadow Man and just you watch and learn!"
I'm almost there, so I ain't gonna hide!
He's got Friends on the Other Side!
Firefly's in love with the evening star!
Kiss a frog, get a prince who plays guitar!
(Instrumental)
Facilier bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
So he threw that pot of gold on the ground at Tiana's feet.
Tia said "Shadow Man, come on back, if you wanna test your cuisine.
"Cause I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best in New Orleans!"
I'm almost there, so I ain't gonna hide!
He's got Friends on the Other Side!
Firefly's in love with the evening star!
Kiss a frog, get a prince who plays guitar!
