Biografía:
Billy Guy, miembro de los Coasters y uno de los mejores barítonos del doo wop y del rhythm and blues de finales de los años 50, nació en Texas el 20 de junio de 1936.
The Coasters comenzó su trayectoria con la publicación del single "Down in Mexico" que en 1956 alcanzó el Top Ten de las listas de éxitos de R&B de Estados Unidos. Este tema fue incluido en la banda sonora de la película Death Proof de Quentin Taratino que es, por cierto, un gran fan de los Coasters.

One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Café.

Just sittin', diggin' on the scene at Smokey Joe's Café.

F Bb F
seen before..at least I'd never saw her down at Smokey Joe's

Café..and I started shakin' when she sat right now next
Fm Eb F C
to me.

F Bb F
Her knees were almost touching mine at Smokey Joe's Café.
F Bb F
A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's Café.

I could smell her sweet perfume..she smiled at me, my heart
went boom.
F Bb F
Then everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Café..they said,
C Bb F Fm Ab
"Man be careful, that chick belongs to Smokey Joe."

F Bb F Bb
Then from behind the counter, I saw a man, a chef hat on his
F Bb
head and a knife in his hand.
Bb C Bb C
He grabbed me by my collar and began to shout, "You'd better
eat up all your beans, boy, and clear right on out!!"
F Bb F
I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Café and so we'll

I'd rather eat my chili beans at Jack's or John's or Jim's or

C Bb F
I risked my life when, that Smokey Joe, the crazy fool..
