The teenage tramps in skintight pants do the E Street dance and everything's alright

And the kids down there, either dancin or hooked up in a scuffle 
           Am                           F

The newsboys say the heat's been bad since Power Thirteen 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 
       G7 
Little Angel steps the shuffle like she ain't got no brains 
      Am                     F 
She's deaf in combat down on Lover's Lane 
    Ab              G            C   F 
She drives all them local boys insane 
C  F     C  F  C

Little Angel picks up Power and he slips on his jeans
