Tom: E E A E One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Cafe E A E Just sitting, diggin' all the scene at Smokey Joe's Cafe A A chick came walking through the door That I had never seen before E A E At least I never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Cafe B A E And I started shaking when she sat right down next to me E A E Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's Cafe E A E A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafe A And I could smell her sweet perfume She smiled at me and my heart went boom E A E And everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Cafe B A E Said, "Man, be careful, that chick belongs to Smokey Joe" A And from behind the counter I saw a man A A chef's hat on his head and a knife in his hand A He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout E He said "You better eat up all your beans, boy, then clear right out!" E A E Oh, I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe E A E And so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's Cafe A And I'd rather eat my chips and beans at Jim's or Jack's or John's or Gene's E A E Than take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe B A E Why risk my life when that Smokey Joe's a crazy fool?
