    Verse 1:
     
  • 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
    Ab9 G9 C
    They're doin' the E Street Shuffle

    Verse 2:
     
  • 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
    The newsboys say the heat's been bad since Power 13 gave a trooper
    all he had in a summer scuffle
  • And Power's 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 Lover's Lane
    She drives all them local boys insane
    Yes, she does
  •  
    Bridge:
     
  • Am G Am G Am Dm Em Am

    Am G Am G Am Dm Em Am
  • Oh oh oh (oh oh oh), everybody form a line"
    E7#9 Dm G
     
  • Verse 3:
     
    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
  • 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
    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
  • And they move on out down to the scene
    All the kids are there
