The Magnetic Fields - The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side lyrics

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?
