Oh, I risked my life when that Smokey Joe went crazy fool
One day while I was eatin' beans at Smokey Joe's Cafe
"Man, be careful! That chick belongs to Smokey Joe"
And I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
So we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Than take my chances eatin' down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Then everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafe, they said
A chick came walkin' through the door, that I had never seen before
And I started shakin' when she sat right down next to me
He grabbed me by my collar and he began to shout
A chef hat on his head and a knife in his hand
From behind the counter I saw a man
I could smell her sweet perfume, she smiled at me my heart went boom
Atleast I never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Just sittin', diggin' on the scene at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
"You'd better eat up all your beans and boys clear right on out!"
A chill was runnin' down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Oh, I'd rather eat my chilli beans at Jim's or Jack's or John's or Gene's
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Her knees were almost touchin' mine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
