Dick Brave and Dick Brave & the Backbeats - Smokey Joe's Cafe

One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Just sittin diggin'all the scenes at Smokey Joes's Cafe
A chick came walkin 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' the girl sat right down next to me

Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Well 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"

Right 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 began to shout
"You better eat up all your beans boy and clear right on out"

I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Cafe
And so we'll never meet 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
Then take my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Cause I risk my life when Smokey Joe's a crazy fool

Waah-aah at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Waah-aah at Smokey Joe's Cafe
Waah-aah at Smokey Joe's Cafe
