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?
