Smokey Joe’s Cafe

One day, while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Just sittin' diggin' all the scenes at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A chick came walkin through the door

That I had never seen before
At least, I never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
And I started shakin' when she sat right down next to me

Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
I could smell her sweet perfume

She smiled at me, my heart went boom
Then everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Said, "Man be careful, that chick belongs to Smokey Joe"

From behind the counter I saw a man
A chef's hat on his head and a knife in his hand
He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout
"You better eat up all your beans, boy and clear right on out"

I know, I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
And so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
I'd rather eat my chili beans

At Jim's or Jack's or John's or Gene's
Then take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Why risk my life when that Smokey Joe's a crazy fool?

Waah-aah, at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Waah-aah, at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Waah-aah, at Smokey Joe's Cafe
