Chuck E. Cheese's (formerly Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre and Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza) is a chain of American family entertainment centers and restaurants. The chain is the primary brand of CEC Entertainment, Inc. and is headquartered in Irving, Texas. The establishment serves pizza and other menu items, complemented by arcade games, amusement rides, and animatronic displays as a focus of entertainment for the entire family. The brand derives its name from its main animatronic character Chuck E. Cheese, a comedic mouse who sings and interacts with guests.
Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theatre in San Jose, California, was the first location to open in 1977. The concept was authored by Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell, credited with bringing video games such as Pong to the mainstream. The Pizza Time Theatre was the first family restaurant to integrate food, animated entertainment, and an indoor arcade. The chain merged with competitor Showbiz Pizza Place in 1984, forming Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc. In the early 1990s, the company unified the two brands renaming every location to Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza. They redesigned the logo in 1994, dropping Pizza from each store's name. In 1998, Showbiz Pizza Time, Inc. became CEC Entertainment, Inc., and the company operates 577 locations as of March 2014.
You can go out
Have a drink or two
Get real good at shootin pool
Stay out as late as you want to
When you’re single
You can take a trip to Vegas any day
Pick any coast and go catch some waves
Everybody says you’ve got it made
When you’re single
‘Til you’re coming home
To an empty house
Chips on the sofa
Just thinking about
What you had, what it was
That made you let her slip right through your hands
When you’re single
You’d trade it all to fall in love again
Its not easy
Knowing that you walked away from it all
I bet she’s out with somebody just laughing
Taking every bit of life on in now
She’s falling for him
While you’re coming home
To an empty house
Chips on the sofa
Just thinking about
What you had, what it was
That made you let her slip right through your hands
When you’re single
You’d trade it all to fall in love again
When you’re single you’d trade it all to fall in love again
Yeah I’m single and I’d trade it all to have you back again
