THE E STREET SHUFFLE from The Wild, The Innocent and...
INTRO: C
C
Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets
walk it handsome and hot
All the little girls' souls grow weak
when the manchild gives them a double shot
F
The schoolboy pops pull out all the stops on a Friday night
C
The teenage tramps in skin tight pants
do the E Street dance and everything's alright
G
Them kids down there either dancing or hooked up in a scuffle
Am F
Dressed in snake skin suits packed with Detroit muscle
G# G C
They're doing the E Street Shuffle
C
Now those E Street brats in twilight
dual flashlight phantoms in full star stream
Down fire trails on silver nights
with blonde girls pledged sweet sixteen
F
The newsboys say the heat's been bad since
Power Thirteen gave a trooper all he had in a summer scuffle
C
And Power's girl, Little Angel,
been on the corner keeping those crazy boys out of trouble
G
Little Angel steps the shuffle like she ain't got no brains
Am F
She's deaf in combat down on Lover's Lane
G# G C
She drives all them local boys insane, yes she does
Am G Am G Am
Little Angel says oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Dm Em Am
Everybody form a line
G Am G Am Dm Em Am E7#9 Dm G
Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh everybody form a line
C
Sparks fly on E Street when the
boy prophets walk it handsome and hot
All them little girls' souls grow weak
when the manchild gives them a double shot
F
Little Angel hangs out at Easy Joe's it's a club where all the riot squad
Goes when they're cashing in for a cheap hustle
C
But them boys are still on the corner loose and doing that lazy E Street Shuffle
G Am
As them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams Little Angel picks up
F G# G C
Power and he slips on his jeans as they move on out down to the scene, all the kids are dancing
