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

F7

The schoolboy bops 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 all right

     G7

Them kids down there are either dancin' or hooked up in a scuffle

             Am                          F7

Dressed in snakeskin suits backed with Detroit muscle

         Ab7       G7        C

They're doin' 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 playing sweet sixteen

    F

The newsboys say the heat's been bad since Power 13 gave a trooper all he had in a summer scuffle

            C

And Power's girl, Little Angel, been on the corner keepin' 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







Bridge:



Little Angel says,

Am                    Dm  Em          Am

"Oh oh oh (oh oh oh), everybody form a line

Am                    Dm  Em          Am 

Oh oh oh (oh oh oh),  everybody form a line"   Em Dm G7







         C

Well the 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 cashin' in for a cheap hustle

         C

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

        G                                                  Am                          F

As them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams Little Angel picks up Power and he slips on his jeans

         G#          G           C

And they move on out down to the scene



All the kids are there
