Oh, at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Oh, at Smokey Joe's Cafe

One day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Just sittin' there readin' down at Smokey Joe's 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 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 runnin' down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Oh I could smell her sweet perfume, she smiled and made
My heart go boom and everybody room at Smokey Joe's Cafe
They said, ‽Man be careful that chick belongs to Smokey Joe's?”

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

Oh, at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Oh, at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Oh, at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Oh, at Smokey Joe's Cafe
