Lyrics
How come he don't come and PLP with me
Down at the meter no more?
How come he turn off the TV, and hang that sign on the door?
Well, we call and we call, "How come?", we say
"What can make a boy behave this way?"
So he's learned all of the lines now
And every time he don't stutter when he talks
It's true, it's true, he sure did acquire cool and inspired sort of jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
This ain't healthy, this is some kinda clean
I think Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love
I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something I have to see, is he here?
I look in the pool hall, is he here?
I looked in the drugstore, is he here?
No, he don't come here no more
I tell you what, I saw him
He was sittin' behind us when we were at the Pantages
And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
I hope it wasn't contagious
What's her name? Is this her there?
Oh, Christ, he's even combed his hair
Is that her? What's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be the same, remember
That's not her, I know what's wrong
'Cause 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 in, Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love with me
