The E Street Shuffle

Sparks fly on E Street as the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot

All the little girls' souls go weak

When the man-child gives them a double shot

The schoolboy pops pull out all the stops on a Friday night

The teenage tramps in skintight pants

Do the E Street dance and everything's alright

Little kids down there, either dancing or hooked up in a scuffle

Dressed in snakeskin suits packed with Detroit muscle

They're doing the E Street shuffle



Now those E Street brats in twighlight duel flashlight phantoms in full star stream

Down fire trails on silver nights with blonde girls pledged sweet sixteen

The newsboys say the heats been bad since Power Thirteen

Gave a trooper all he had in a summer scuffle

And Powers girl, Little Angel, been on the corner keepin' those crazy boys out of trouble

Little Angel steps the shuffle like she ain't got no brains;

She's deaf in combat down on Lovers Lane

She drives all them local boys insane



Little Angel says, Oh, oh, everybody form a line.

Oh, oh everybody form a line



Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot.

All them little girls souls go weak when the man-child gives them a double shot.

Little Angel hangs out at Easy Joes

It's a club where all the riot squad goes when they're cashin' in for a cheap hustle.

But them boys are still on the corner loose and doin' that lazy E Street shuffle

As them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams

Little Angel picks up Power and he slips on his jeans,

As they move on out down to the scene.



All the kids are dancin'.
