How come he don't come and P.I.P. with me
|
Down at the meter no more?
|
And how come he turn(ed) off the t.v.
|
And hang(ed) that sign on the door?
|
Well we call and we call "How come?" we say
|
Hey what could make a boy behave this-a way, yeah?
|
And he learn(ed) all of the lines, now, and every time
|
He gonna s-stutter when he talks
|
And it's true! It's true! He sure has acquired this kinda cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walk(s)
|
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans,
|
If this ain't healthy it is some kinda clean
|
|
That means Chuck E's in love
|
|
I don't believe what you're saying to me
|
This is something I got to see. Is he here?
|
I look in the poolhall. Is he here?
|
I look in the drugstore. Is he here?
|
No, he don't come here no more
|
|
Well I'll tell you what, I saw him
|
He was sittin' behind us down at the Pantages
|
And whatever is that he's got up his sleeve
|
I hope it isn't contagious
|
What's her name? Is that her there?
|
Oh Christ, I think he's even combed his hair!
|
And is that her? Well then what's her name?
|
Oh, it's never gonna be same.
|
That's not her
|
I know what's wrong
|
'Cause Chuck E's in love with the little girl singing this song
|
Don't you know
|
Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love
|
Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love...
|
Chuck E's in love with me
|
