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 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 Joes'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 Why risk my life when that 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" />
