Smokey Joe's Café

One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Just sittin diggin'all the scenes at Smokey Joes'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 Joes'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
