One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Cafй Just sittin', diggin' all them scenes at Smokey Joe's Cafй A chick I'd never seen before Came walkin' on in through the door At least I'd never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Cafй And I started shakin' when she sat right now next to me Her chair was there right next to mine at Smokey Joe's Cafй A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafй I could smell her sweet perfume She smiled at me, my heart went boom Then everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafй They said "Man be careful, that chick belongs to Smokey Joe" Then from behind the counter, I saw a man A chef hat on his head and a knife in his hand He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout "You'd better eat up all your beans boy and clear right On out" I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafй And so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's Cafй I'd rather eat my chili beans At Jack's or John's or Jim's or Jean's Than taking my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafй I risked my like with that Smokey Joe's a crazy fool
