The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

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 want to 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 want to 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 

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 want to go for a ride 

Want to go for a ride 

Want to go for a ride 

Want to go for a ride
