Verse 1:
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
The schoolboy bops pull out all the stops on a Friday night
The teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance and everything's all right
Them kids down there are either dancin' or hooked up in a scuffle
Dressed in snakeskin suits backed with Detroit muscle
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:
Little Angel says, "Oh oh oh (oh oh oh), everybody form a line
Oh oh oh (oh oh oh), everybody form a line"

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
