How come he don't come and P.L.P. with me   Down at the meter no more?   And how come he turn off the T.V.   And he hang that sign on the door?   Well we call and we call    "How come?" we say   Hey what could make a boy behave this way?      He learned all of the lines now   And every time he don't a-stutter when he talks   And it's true! It's true!    He sure has acquired this kind of cool and inspired sorta jazz when he walk   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   Chuck E.'s in love   Chuck E.'s in love   Chuck E.'s in      I don't believe what you're saying to me   This it something I got to see   Is he here?   I look in the poolhall   Well is he here?   I look 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 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   Is that her? What's her name?   Oh, its never gonna be the 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, Chuck E.'s in love with me
