1. As a baby, my daughter used to rock back and forth
in her infant seat to the beat of this song! Great song with wonderful memories!

7. Great Album .... Danny's All Star Joint ..... loved that song
Downstairs at danny's all-star joint
They got a juke box that goes doyt-doyt
The vice is nice, they stay in the back all day
But when the nighttime comes, hey-hey
There's this cat down there that makes a bad kinda soup
I come around struttin' my luck in my shoop coupe
Cecil gives me coffee
And he won't never take my coin
I say, " I got thirty dollars in my pocket!
Whatchoo doin' ? "

I holler, " Come on, Cecil, take a dollar!
Come on, Cecil, take a ten!
I've finally geared up into a whole buncha big ones
And you're actin' like I'm down-shiftin' "

4. in high school and college a played guitar and sang... generous friends
compared me to Rickie Lee Jones or Carly Simon. Haven't heard "Chuck E's In Love" in years. What a pleasure (nostalgic indulgence.) Thanks.
