Smokey Joe's Cafe Lyrics

Artist: Buddy Holly
Album: Giant

One day while I was eating down at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
a-sittinâ‚¬â„¢ there readinâ‚¬â„¢ down at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
a chicken walked in through the door
that I had never seen before
at least I never saw her down at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
and it scared me when she sat right down next to me

Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
a chill was runninâ‚¬â„¢down my spine at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
I could smell her sweet perfume
she smiled and made my heart go boom
and everybody room at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
they said â‚¬Å“be careful - that chick belongs to Smokey Joeâ‚¬?

And from behind the counter - I saw a man
a chefâ‚¬â„¢s hat on his head and a knife in his hand
he grabbed me by the collar and began to shout
â‚¬Å“you better eat up all your beans, boy & clear right on out!â‚¬?

Well, I know Iâ‚¬â„¢ll never eat again at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
and so Iâ‚¬â„¢ll never see again at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
Iâ‚¬â„¢d rather eat my chili beans at Jimâ‚¬â„¢s or Jackâ‚¬â„¢s or Johnâ‚¬â„¢s or Geneâ‚¬â„¢s
than take my chances eating down at Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s Cafe
I risked my life when that Smokey Joeâ‚¬â„¢s a crazy fool
