Café do Smokey Joe

One day while I was eating down at Smokey Joe's Cafe

a-sittin' there readin' down at Smokey 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 it scared me 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

I could smell her sweet perfume

she smiled and made my heart go boom

and everybody room at Smokey Joe's Cafe

they said "be careful - that chick belongs to Smokey Joe"

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 & 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

Um dia, enquanto eu comia lá no Café do Smokey Joe

sentado lá lendo no Café do Smokey Joe

uma galinha entrou pela porta

que eu nunca tinha visto antes

pelo menos nunca a vi lá no Café do Smokey Joe

e me assustou quando ela sentou bem ao meu lado

Os joelhos dela quase tocavam os meus no Café do Smokey Joe

e um frio subia pela minha espinha no Café do Smokey Joe

eu podia sentir o perfume doce dela

e ela sorriu e fez meu coração disparar

e todo mundo no Café do Smokey Joe

disse: "cuidado - essa mina pertence ao Smokey Joe"

E de trás do balcão - eu vi um homem

um chapéu de chef na cabeça e uma faca na mão

ele me pegou pela gola e começou a gritar

"é melhor você comer todos os seus feijões, garoto, e sair logo!"

Bem, eu sei que nunca mais vou comer no Café do Smokey Joe

e assim nunca mais vou ver no Café do Smokey Joe

prefiro comer meus feijões com chili no Jim's ou no Jack's ou no John's ou no Gene's

do que arriscar a vida comendo lá no Café do Smokey Joe

arrisquei minha vida quando aquele Smokey Joe é um maluco
