It's ninety-three degrees,
|
and the radio says a storm front's movin' in.
|
Sure is hot.
|
There's a double feature down at the Fox,
|
but everybody's seen it twice.
|
And, besides, the air conditioner's broke.
|
|
The old lady who runs the ice cream store
|
got robbed last week.
|
She put a lock on the door,
|
and a bell on the lock.
|
Now she don't answer the door,
|
'cause she takes that good long look at you,
|
and you look too tough.
|
|
The air is hot and heavy and wet,
|
and you just can't get high.
|
That's when sparks fly on E Street.
|
And the little girls walking lookin' so hot,
|
and the little boys' souls grow weak
|
when the girls give them a double shot.
|
|
School boy pops pull out the stops on a Friday night.
|
And those teenage tramps in skin-tight pants
|
do the E Street dance,
|
but in their heart and soul they know it's all right.
|
|
Just like those kids down there,
|
ooh, hooked up in a scuffle.
|
Dressed in snake skin suits;
|
Packed with Detroit muscle;
|
Doin' the E Street shuffle.
|
Ooh, the shuffle.
|
Doin' the E Street shuffle.
|
Ooh, the shuffle.
|
