The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side - 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

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 want to go for a ride

Want to go for a ride

Want to go for a ride

Want to go for a ride
