CHUCK E.'S IN LOVE
Rickie Lee Jones 


How come he don't come and PLP 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
Hell, what could make a boy behave this away
Yeah, well he learned all of the lines now

And everytime he don't a s-stutter when he talks
And it's true, it's true 
He sure has acquired this kinda cool 
And inspired sort of jazz when he walks
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
Hey, if this ain't healthy it is some kinda clean
Fact is that

Chuck E.'s in love 
Yeah, yeah
Chuck E.'s in love 
No, no, no
Chuck E.'s in love 
Ah, ah
That Chuck E.'s in

Well, I don't believe what you're saying to me
This is something, I've got to see
Is he here? 
I look for him in the pool hall
Well is he here?
I look in the drug store
Well is he here? 
No, he don't come here no more

Well I tell you what I saw him
He was sitting behind us down at the Pantages
And whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
Well, 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 the same
That's not her
I know what's wrong
Cause Chuck E.'s in love 
With the little girl singing this song
And don't you know

Chuck E.'s in love 
Yeah, yeah
Chuck E.'s in love 
No, no, no
Chuck E.'s in love 
Ah, ah
Chuck E.'s in
Chuck E.'s in love 
Chuck E.'s in love 
He's in love
No, ho, no
With me
