Story Behind The Song
I just got hungry one night for some red beans and rice, so I started fixing some on the gas stove.
All of a sudden the power went off, and it was just me, my girl, and a soul feast in the dark. When the lights came on, I wrote the song

Lyrics
I was sittin' with you on the living room couch
Sittin' there with you when the lights went out
'N when I asked you, "Baby, what can we do?"
You said, "Honey, let's make us some Jambalaya stew!"
Midnight Jambalaya ... Oh, that Jambolaya
Its gona be hot, I'll give you all I got ...
Midnight Jambalaya.
We're gonna cook it in the dark, gonna boil it on down
Its the kinda stew that'll turn you around
Sweet roule, all the spices and such
We make it so hot and we can't make too much!
CHORUS
Ah, babe, you're really cookin' that rice
Ya bring it to a boil and it looks so nice
Its the lovin' sauce that I need to add
Gotta have it right now 'cause it drives me mad!
CHORUS
