Smokey Joe`s Cafe — текст песни (Buddy Holly)

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
