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

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

Um dia enquanto eu comia feijão no Smokey Joe's Cafe
Apenas sentado, cavando em cena no Smokey Joe's Cafe
Uma garota veio andando pela porta, que eu nunca tinha visto antes
Pelo menos nunca a vi no Smokey Joe's Cafe
E eu comecei a tremer quando ela se sentou ao meu lado

Seus joelhos estavam quase tocando os meus no Smokey Joe's Cafe
Um calafrio correu pela minha espinha no Smokey Joe's Cafe
Eu podia cheirar seu perfume doce, ela sorriu para mim meu coração disparou
Então todos na sala do Smokey Joe's Cafe, eles disseram
Cara, tenha cuidado! Essa garota pertence a Smokey Joe

De trás do balcão, vi um homem
Um, chapéu cozinheiro, ligado, seu, cabeça, e, um, faca, em, seu, mão
Ele me agarrou pelo meu colarinho e ele começou a gritar
É melhor você comer todos os seus feijões e garotos, claro!

E eu sei que nunca mais vou comer no Smokey Joe's Cafe
Então, nunca mais vamos nos encontrar no Smokey Joe's Cafe
Ah, eu prefiro comer minha pimenta no Jim's ou no Jack's ou no John's ou no Gene's
Do que arriscar comer no Smokey Joe's Cafe
Oh, eu arrisquei minha vida quando aquele Smokey Joe ficou louco

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