FWhhhBbyyy..FSmokey Joe's Cafe..FWhhBbhyyy..FSmokey Joe's Cafe.. #1. FOne day while I was Bbeating beans at FSmokey Joe's Café. FJust sittin', diggin' Bbon the scene at FSmokey Joe's Café. A Bbchick came walkin' through the door, that I'd never seen before..at Fleast I'd never Bbsaw her down at FSmokey Joe's Café..and CI started shakin' when Fshe sat right now next to me.Fm Eb F C
#2.
Her Fknees were almost Bbtouching mine at FSmokey Joe's Café. FA chill was running Bbdown my spine at FSmokey Joe's Café. BbI could smell her sweet perfume..she smiled at me, my heart
went boom.
FThen everybody Bbin the room at FSmokey Joe's Café..they said, "CMan be careful, that Bbchick belongs to Smokey FJoe."Fm Ab
#3.
FThen Bbfrom behind the counter, FI saw a Bbman, a chef hat on his Fhead and a Bbknife in his hand. BbHe grabbed me by my collar Cand Bbbegan to shout, "CYou'd better
eat up all your beans, boy, and clear right on out!!"
I Fknow I'll never Bbeat again at FSmokey Joe's Café and so we'll never Bbmeet again at FSmokey Joe's Café.
#4.
I'd Bbrather eat my chili beans at Jack's or John's or Jim's or Jean's, than Ftake my chances Bbeating down at FSmokey Joe's Café. CI risked my life when, Bbthat Smokey Joe, the crazy Ffool..
