What's Up with Chew?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Chew keeps a suitcase by the front door With a clean white shirt and a checkered floor He knows the night nurse by her first name And the vending machine’s old coin game [Pre-Chorus] He says, “It’s nothing, just a little ache” Then calls a cab before the coffee breaks [Chorus] Oh, Chew, you’re back again Rolling through those double doors at ten You know every hallway, every room The whole town’s asking, “What’s up with Chew?” [Verse 2] He’s got a stack of wristbands in a drawer And a parking stub collection by the score The doctor says, “Take it easy, my friend” Chew says, “Sure,” then he’s back by the weekend [Pre-Chorus] He swears this time he’s feeling just fine Then spots that flashing sign and falls in line [Chorus] Oh, Chew, you’re back again Rolling through those double doors at ten You know every hallway, every room The whole town’s asking, “What’s up with Chew?” [Bridge] Maybe it’s the quiet, maybe it’s the care Maybe he just likes that warm blanket there The nurses laugh when he strolls through the door “Chew, we saved your seat—same as before!” [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Oh, Chew, you’re back again Rolling through those double doors at ten You know every hallway, every room The whole town’s asking, “What’s up with Chew?” Oh, Chew, give the place a little break Go home and let that old kettle shake We’ll save you a chair in the living room And keep that cab away from Chew! [Outro] Chew, Chew, go on home You don’t need that hospital phone
