VERSE
                                                     
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


CHORUS 
                                          
But I'm the luckiest guy on the Lower East Side
                                            
Cause I've got wheels and you want to go for a ride

VERSE
                               
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


(CHORUS)


INTERLUDE (Chords Optional)
                              
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


VERSE
                             
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


CHORUS
                                         
But I'm the ugliest guy on the Lower East Side

Cause I've got wheels and you want to go for a ride
