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

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
