One day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
|
A-sittin' there readin' down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
|
A chicken walked in through the door
|
That I had never seen before
|
At least I never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
|
And it scared me when she sat right down next to me
|
|
Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
|
A chill was runnin'down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
|
I could smell her sweet perfume
|
She smiled and made my heart go boom
|
And everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafe
|
They said, "Be careful - that chick belongs to Smokey Joe"
|
|
And 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!"
|
|
Well, I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
|
And so I'll never see 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
|
Than take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
|
I risked my life when that Smokey Joe's a crazy fool
|
