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
Hell, what could make a boy behave this a-way? 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 sayin' to me
This is somethin' 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 sittin' 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 singin' 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!
