Bette Midler - E Street Shuffle Lyrics
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.
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,
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.

E Street Shuffle/Summer (The First Time)
Bette Midler
Twas a hot afternoon, the last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid, 110 in the shade
And the pavement was steamin'
I told Billy Ray in his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
He was just passin' by when I caught that boys eye
And I swore it was winkin'
I was thirty-one and he was seventeen
He knew nothin' about love, I knew everything
But he sat right down on the front porch swing
And I wondered what the coming night would bring
The sun closed my eyes climbed to the sky
And it started to swelter
Sweat trickled down the front of my gown
And I thought it would melt him
I threw back my hair like he wasn't there
And I sipped ooo something cool and
My shoulders were bare and he tried not to stare
Oh but I knew I was foolin'
I looked deep into those eyes of blue
Said boy I know you're young, don't know what to say or do
But stay with me until the sun goes away
And I will chase the boy in you away
Guess you know why that kid caught my eye
Ooo and why the memory still lingers
Go back in my mind to the very first time
Oooo I felt the touch of somebody's fingers...
