The lyrics of "Love and Luck" are a loose translation by Jimmy Buffett of the Zouk (Antibes/Caribbean native music) song "Kole Sere" by J. Beroard and J.C. Naimro. "Kole sere" is Caribbean Creole for "love and luck." "Gris gris" is a voodoo charm, usually a small bag containing several odd items chosen with the individual and the purpose in mind, and normally intended to bring good luck.
