How come he don't come and PIP with me
When I'm down at the meter no more?
And how come he turned off this TV
And he hung that sign on the door?

We call and we call, "How come?" we say
What could make a boy behave this way?

Well he learned all of the lines now
And every time he don't stutter when he talks
And it's true! It's true! He sure is acquired
A kind of a cool and an inspired sorta jazz when he walks

Where's his jacket
And his old blue jeans?
If this ain't healthy this is, I guess then
Well I think that

Chuck E.'s in love, Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love, oh my, Chuck E.'s in love

But 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 look in the drugstore
Is he here? they said, "No, he don't come here, no more"

But I'll tell you what I saw him
He was sittin' right behind you when you were at The Pantages
And whatever, whatever it is that he's got up his sleeve
I hope it wasn't contagious 'cause

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, the women are never going to be same

But that's not her, and I know what's wrong
Chuck E,'s in love with the little girl
Who's singing this song
Don't you know

Chuck E.'s in love, Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love, Chuck E.'s in love
Chuck E.'s in love, Chuck E.'s in love with me

How come he don't come and PIP with me
When I'm down at the meter no more?
And how come he turned off this TV
