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 chilli 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 [Outro] Smokey Joe’s Cafe Smokey Joe’s Cafe Smokey Joe’s Cafe
