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
