Her chair was there right next to mine at Smokey Joe's Café
Kursinya ada di sebelahku di Smokey Joe’s Caf & eacute;
A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's Café
Rasa dingin mengalir di punggungku di Smoker Joe’s Caf & eacute;
I could smell her sweet perfume
Aku bisa mencium aroma wangi manisnya
She smiled at me, my heart went boom
Dia tersenyum padaku, hatiku meledak
Then everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Café
Lalu semua orang di ruangan di Smokey Joe’s Caf & eacute;
They said “Man be careful, that chick belongs to Smokey Joe”
Mereka berkata “Man hati-hati, cewek itu milik Smokey Joe”

Then from behind the counter, I saw a man
Lalu dari belakang meja kasir, saya melihat seorang pria
A chef hat on his head and a knife in his hand
Topi koki di kepalanya dan pisau di tangannya
He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout
Dia menarikku dari kerah dan mulai berteriak
“You'd better eat up all your beans boy and clear right on out”
“Sebaiknya kau makan semua anak kacangmu dan bersihkan dulu di luar”
I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Café
Aku tahu aku tidak akan pernah makan lagi di Smokey Joe’s Caf & eacute;
And so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's Café
Jadi kita tidak akan pernah bertemu lagi di Smokeville Joe’s Caf & eacute;
I'd rather eat my chili beans
Saya lebih suka makan kacang cabai saya
At Jack's or John's or Jim's or Jean's
Di Jack’s atau John’s atau Jim’s atau Jean’s
Than taking my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Café
Daripada mengambil kesempatan saya makan di Smokey Joe’s Caf & eacute;
I risked my like with that Smokey Joe's a crazy fool
Aku mempertaruhkan perasaanku dengan si Smokey Joe yang bodoh
