[Verse 1]
How come he don't come and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more?
How come he turn off the TV?
And he hang that sign on the door?
We call and we call
"How come?" we say
What could make a boy behave this way?
So he has learnt all of the lines now
And every time, he don't st-stutter when he talks
It's true! It's true!
He sure has aquired a cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
If this ain't healthy it is some kinda clean
[Chorus]
I think Chuck E.'s in love, my my
Chuck E.'s in love, love love love
Chuck E.'s in love, my my
Chuck E.'s in...
[Bridge]
I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something I have to see
Is he here?
I look in the poolhall
Is he here?
I look in the d**tore
Is he here?
No, he don't come here no more
[Verse 2]
Well 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
I hope it isn't contagious
What's her name?
Is this her there?
Christ, I think he's even combed his hair
And is that her?
What's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be the same
But that's not her
I know what's wrong
'Cause Chuck E.'s in love
With the little girl who's singin' this song
Don't you know?
[Chorus]
Chuck E.'s in love, yeah yeah
Chuck E.'s in love, love love love
Chuck E.'s in love, my my
Chuck E.'s
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love, he's in love love love with me
