How come he don't come and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more?
and how come he turn off the TV?
And hang that sign on the door?Well we call and we call
"How come?" we say
Hey what could make a boy behave this way?Well he has learned all of the lines now
And every time, he don't stutter when he talks
Well It's true! It's true!
He sure has acquired a cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
This ain't healthy it is some kinda clean?The fact is Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in loveI don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something that I have to seeIs he here?
I look in the pool hall
Well is he here?
I look in the drugstore
Is he here?
No, he don't come here no moreWell I'll tell you what, I saw him
He was sitting behind us down in the Pantages
And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
Well, I hope it isn't contagiousWhat's her name?
Is that her there?
Christ, I think he's even combed his hair
Now Is that her ?
What's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be the sameThat's not her
I know what's wrong
Because Chuck E.'s in love
With the little girl who's singing' this song
Don't you know?
That Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love oh my
Chuck E.'s
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love with me
