I said, "Hey baby won't you take my hand, walk me down Broadway, She won't take cornerboys, ain't got no money, and they're so easy, It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute, it's a mad dog's promenade,įish lady, fish lady, fish lady she baits them tenement walls, Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the loot,
Jackie's heels are stacked, Billy's got cleats on his boots, OOh alright, ooh alright, ooh alright, ooh alright.īilly, he's down by the railroad tracks, sittin' low in the back seat of his Cadillac,ĭiamond Jackie, she's so intact, she falls so softly beneath him, OOh what can I do, ohh what can I do? Alright. When he looks into her eyes he just sits back and sighs, Kitty's back in town, here she comes now, Kitty's back in town,Ĭat knows Kitty's been untrue and that she left him for a city dude, Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, here she comes, Who's that down at the end of the alley, she's been gone so long, Well you better move fast when you're young or you're not long around,Ĭat somehow lost his Kitty in the city pound, She goes runnin' nightly, lightly through the jungle,Īnd them tin cans are explodin' out of the ninety degree heat,Ĭat somehow lost his baby down on Bleeker Street,Ĭat shrugs his shoulders, sits back and sighs.įlashin' lights cut the night, dude in the white says he's the man, Jack Knife cries cause Baby's in a bundle, It's tight on this fence since them young dudes are musclin' in. Since Kitty left with Big Pretty things have got pretty thin, She left to marry some top cat, ain't it the cold truth,Īnd there hasn't been a tally since Sally left the alley, Power and he slips on his jeans as they move on out down to the sceneĬatlong sighs holdin' Kitty's black tooth, Goes when they're cashin' in for a cheap hustle,īut them boys are still on the corner loose and doin' that lazy E StreetĪs them sweet summer nights turn into summer dreams Little Angel picks up Sparks fly on E Street when the boy-prophets walk it handsome and hot,Īll them little girls' souls grow weak when the manchild gives them a double Little Angel says, "Oh, everybody form a line. She's deaf in combat down on Lover's Lane
Little Angel steps the shuffle like she ain't got no brains, The newsboys say the heat's been bad since Power Thirteen gave a trooper allĪnd Power's girl, Little Angel, been on the corner keepin' those crazy boys
Lyrics to e street shuffle full#
Now those E Street brats in twilight duel flashlight phantoms in full starĭown fire trails on silver nights with blonde girls pledged sweet sixteen, Little kids down there either dancin' or hooked up in a scuffle,ĭressed in snake-skin suits packed with Detroit muscle The teenage tramps in skin-tight pants do the E Street dance and everything's The schoolboy pops pull out all the stops on a Friday night, Sparks fly on E Street when the boy prophets walk it handsome and hot,Īll the little girls' souls grow weak when the manchild gives them a double
