Smokey Joe's Cafe

Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe

One day while I was eatin' beans at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Just sittin', diggin' on the scene at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A chick came walkin' through the door, that I had never seen before
Atleast 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 touchin' 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 at me my heart went boom
Then everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafe, they said
Man, be careful! That chick belongs to Smokey Joe

From behind the counter I saw a man
A chef hat on his head and a knife in his hand
He grabbed me by my collar and he began to shout
You'd better eat up all your beans and boys clear right on out!

And I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
So we'll never meet again 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
Than take my chances eatin' down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Oh, I risked my life when that Smokey Joe went crazy fool

Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe

Smokey Joe's Cafe

Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe

Un día mientras comía frijoles en Smokey Joe's Cafe
Sólo sentado, excavando en la escena en Smokey Joe's Cafe
Una chica entró caminando por la puerta, que nunca había visto antes
Al menos nunca la vi en Smokey Joe's Cafe
Y empecé a temblar cuando ella se sentó a mi lado

Sus rodillas casi tocaban las mías en Smokey Joe's Cafe
Un escalofrío estaba corriendo por mi columna vertebral en Smokey Joe's Cafe
Podía oler su dulce perfume, ella me sonrió mi corazón fue boom
Entonces todos en la habitación del Smokey Joe's Cafe, dijeron
Hombre, ten cuidado! Esa chica pertenece a Smokey Joe

Desde detrás del mostrador vi a un hombre
Un sombrero de chef en la cabeza y un cuchillo en la mano
Me agarró del cuello y empezó a gritar
¡Será mejor que te comas todos tus frijoles y chicos despejado!

Y sé que nunca volveré a comer en Smokey Joe's Cafe
Así que nunca nos volveremos a ver en Smokey Joe's Cafe
Prefiero comer mis judías de chile en casa de Jim, Jack, John o Gene
Que arriesgarme a comer en Smokey Joe's Cafe
Arriesgué mi vida cuando ese Smokey Joe se volvió loco

Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
Wah, ah, Smokey Joe's Cafe
