Live 20 Nov 2009 version
[Spoken intro:] Now, here, there's just one song missing: E! Street! Shuffle!
One, two, three!
Sparks light on E Street where the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot
The little girls' souls grow weak when the man-child hit 'em with a double shot
Schoolboy pops hit out all the stops on a Friday night
Teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance and it's all right
Little kids there are either out there dancin', hooked up in a scuffle
In snake-skin suits packed with Detroit muscle
Doin' the E Street Shuffle
Those E Street brats in twilight duel flashlight phantoms in full star stream
Down fire trails on silver nights with blonde girls pledged sweet sixteen
Newsboy say the heat's been bad since Power Thirteen gave a trooper everything he had in a late summer scuffle
Power's girl, Little Angel's on the corner keepin' those crazy boys out of trouble
Little Angel steps the shuffle like she got no brains
She's deaf in combat down on Lover's Lane
She drives all those boys insane
Here we go!
Little Angel said, "Whoa, whoa, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Everybody form a line
Whoa, whoa, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, yeah)
Oh, everybody form a line"
One, two, three!
Sparks light on E Street where the boy-prophets walk it handsome and hot
The little souls grow weak when the man-child give 'em 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 on a cheap hustle
Them boys are on the corner, loose and crazy, doin' that lazy E Street Shuffle
As sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams
Little Angel picks up Power, and slips on his jeans
They move on down to the scene
All the kids are dancin'
Little Angel say, "Whoa, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, yeah)
Everybody form a line"
Whoa, yeah, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, yeah)
Everybody form a line
Whoa, whoa, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Everybody form a line
Whoa, whoa, yeah
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Yeah, everybody form a line
Whoa!
The above lyrics are for the live 20 Nov 2009 performance of THE E STREET SHUFFLE at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, MD, during the Working On A Dream Tour. The song was played in its traditional full-band arrangement and featured Curt Ramm on trumpet.
