Rickie Lee JonesChuck E.'s in Love Lyrics:
How come he don't come PLP 1 with me,
Down at The Meter 2 no more?
And, how come he turn off the TV,
And 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?"
Yeah!
Well, he learned all of the lines now,
And every time, he don'a s-s-stutter when he talks.
It's true! It's true!
He sure has aquired this kinda cool,
And inspired sorta jazz when he walks.
Where's his jacket and his old blue jeans?
If this ain't healthy, it is some kinda clean.
Fact is, ((Chuck E's in lo-ove.)) (Yeah, yeah.)
((Chuck E's in lo-ove.)) (Love, love, love.)
((Chuck E's in lo-ove.)) (Yeah, yeah.)
Chuck E's in...
I don't believe what you're saying to me.
This is somethin' I've gotta see.
Is he here?
I look in the pool hall.
Well, is he here?
I look in the drugstore.
Is he here?
No-oh, he don't come here no more!
Well, I tell you what I saw him.
He was sittin' behind us down at the Pantages 3 .
And, oooo-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? Well a-what's her name?
Oh, it's never gonna be 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 lo-ove.)) (Yeah, yeah.)
((Chuck E's in lo-ove.)) (Love, love, love.)
((Chuck E's in lo-ove.)) (My, my.)
((Chuck E's in...))
Chuck E's in lo-ve.
Chuck E's in love,
He's in lo-oh-oh-oh, a-no-ho-love...
A-with me.
Boo-boo boop-boop, be-be-do-do-dip.

1 PLP stands for play last pocket. Last Pocket is a variation of the game of
Eight-ball pool (or pocket billiards). It is played the same way as regular
eight ball throughout the game, with a slight variation at the end. In last
pocket eight ball, the requirement is that you must pocket the eight ball in the
same pocket where your last object ball was made. For example, if you are
shooting solids and you made your final solid ball in the far left pocket, then
that far left pocket is considered your last pocket, and is the pocket in which
you must make the eight ball in order to win.
2 The Meter was a pool hall in Los Angeles in the 1970s.
3 The Pantages Theatre referred to in this song is located at Hollywood and
Vine Street, in Hollywood, California. Designed by architect B. Marcus Priteca,
it was the last theatre built for the impresario Alexander Pantages. The
palatial Art Deco theatre opened on June 4, 1930.

6 Rickie Lee Jones, born on November 8, 1954, in Chicago, Illinois, and the
winner of two Grammy Awards, is a singer, songwriter, musician and record
producer. At the beginning of her career she experienced significant commercial
success, in part due an appearance on Saturday Night Live. But her downfall
seemed to be her penchant for working in so many different styles of music that
she didn't fit nicely into any one genre. Eventually it sealed her fate as that
of a highly regarded cult idol.
