"The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side" lyrics
"The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side"
Andy would bicycle across town
In the rain to bring you candy
And John would buy the gown
For you to wear to the prom
With Tom the astronomer
Who'd name a star for you
But I'm the luckiest guy
On the Lower East Side
'Cause I've got wheels
And you wanna go for a ride
Harry is the one I think you'll marry
But it's Chris that you kissed after school
Well, I'm a fool, there's no doubt
But when the sun comes out
And only when the sun comes out
I'm the luckiest guy
On the Lower East Side
'Cause I've got wheels
And you wanna go for a ride
The day is beautiful and so are you
My car is ugly but then, I'm ugly too
I know you'd never give me a second glance
But when the weather's nice all the other guys
Don't stand a chance
I know Professor Blumen
Makes you feel like a woman
But when the wind is in your hair
You laugh like a little girl
So you share secrets with Lou
But we've got secrets too
Well, one
I only keep this heap for you
'Cause I'm the ugliest guy
On the Lower East Side
But I've got wheels
And you wanna go for a ride
Wanna go for a ride?
Wanna go for a ride?
Wanna go for a ride?

Tight black pants, exotic -- some loving is what I need.
