THE E STREET SHUFFLE 
Live 09 Mar 2012 version
Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot
The little girls' souls grow weak when the man-child hit them with a double shot
Schoolboy pops pull out all the stops on a Friday night
Teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance, it's all right
Little kids down there either dancing or hooked up in a scuffle
Dressed in snake-skin suits packed with Detroit muscle
Doing the E Street Shuffle
Well the 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 says the heat's been bad since Power Thirteen gave a trooper everything he had in a late summer scuffle
Power's girl, Little Angel, is on the corner trying to keep 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
Let's go!
Yeah-yeah – yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-whoa whoa-whoa-whoa
Everybody form a line
Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-whoa whoa-whoa-whoa
Yeah, everybody form a line
One, two, three
Sparks light on E Street when the boy-prophets walk it handsome and hot
The little girls' souls grow weak when the man-child hit them with a double shot
Little Angel hangs out at Easy Joe's, it's a club where all the riot squad goes when they're checking in for a hustle
Them boys still on the corner loose and lazy doing that crazy E Street Shuffle
As them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams
Little Angel picks up Power, he slips on his jeans
And they move on down to the scene
Everybody's dancing
Everybody say, yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-whoa whoa-whoa-whoa
Yeah, everybody form a line
Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-whoa whoa-whoa-whoa
Yeah, everybody form a line
Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-whoa whoa-whoa-whoa
Yeah, everybody form a line
Yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-whoa whoa-whoa-whoa
Yeah, everybody form a line
???!
