Chuck E’s in Love
[Verse 1]
Tell me how come he don't come and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more
And how come, how come he turn off the TV
And he hang that sign out on the door
Well we call and we call
How come we say
Hey what could make a boy behave this way
Well he learned all the lines now
And everytime he don't, he don't st-st-stutter when he talks
Well it's true, it's true he sure has acquired some kind of cool
And inspired sort of jazz when he walks
Where is his jacket and his old blue jeans?
Oh if this ain't healthy it is some kind of clean
[Chorus]
I think that Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's, Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in...
[Bridge]
I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something that I have got to see
Well is he here?
I'll look in the pool hall
Is he here?
I tell you I'll look in the drugstore
Is he here?
No, he don't come here no more
[Verse 2]
I tell you what, honey, I saw him
He was sitting behind us down at the Pantages
Hey whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
I hope it's not contagious
Well is that her? Is that her there?
Oh Christ, I even think he's combed his hair
Well is that her? Oh what is her name?
It's never gonna be the same
Oohh that's not her, baby, I know what's wrong
'Cause Chuck E's in love with the little girl singing this song
[Chorus]
Don't you know Chuck E's in love
Oh Chuck E's, Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's in love, Chuck E's in love
Chuck E's in love
He's in love with me
