Lyrics for Song: The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side
Lyrics for Album: 69 Love Songs Pt. 1 [1999]
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 would name a star for you
But I'm the luckiest guy on the lower east side
'Cause I 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
