[G] [Eb] By Smokey Toast Cafe
[E] [F] One day while I [Bb] was [Ab] eating beans at [F] Smokey Toast Cafe
Just sitting, [Bb] diddlin' all this tea [F] at Smokey Toast Cafe
[Bb] A chick came walking through the door that I had never seen before
[F] At least I [Bb] never saw her [F] at Smokey Toast Cafe
[C] And I started shaking [Bb] when she sat right down next [F] to [Fm] me
[C] [Ab] [F] Her knees were [Bb] almost touching [F] mine at Smokey Toast Cafe
Touching [Bb] was running down my [F] spine at Smokey Toast Cafe
[Bb] And I could [Eb] smell her sweet [Bb] perfume, she smiled at me and my heart went [F] boom
Then [Bb] everybody in the room [F] at Smokey Toast Cafe
[C] Said man be careful, [Bb] that chick [Eb] belongs to [Bb] [Fm] Smokey Joe
Oh [Cm] no no
[Bb] And from behind the [Bb] 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, he [C] said yes
[Db] Better eat up all your beans boy, [C] then clear right out
Oh [F] I know I'll [Bb] never [Fm] eat again at [F] Smokey [Gm] Toast [F] Cafe
And so we'll [Bb] never be [F] eating again at Smokey Toast Cafe
[Bb] And I'd rather eat my chips and beans at Jim's and Jack's and Joe's and [F] Dean's
Than take my [Bb] gender to the [F] Dolls at Smokey Toast Cafe
[E] [C] Why risk my life [Bb] when at Smokey Joe's a crazy [F] fool
[Bb] [G] [F]
Oh, [Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F] eat [Bb] your beans Yeah
[F] At
[Fm] [Eb]
[F] [Bb] [F] Smokey Toast Cafe
[Bb] At [Ab] [F] Smokey Toast [Gm] Cafe
[Ab] [F] [Bb] At [Ab] [F] Smokey Toast Cafe
At Smokey Toast Cafe
[Am]
