VERSE
B                         E                            
Andy would bicycle across town in the rain to bring you
B                            E
candy and John would buy the gown for you to wear to the
B                   E                              F#            
prom with Tom the astronomer who'd name a star for you


CHORUS 
                     B                     Abm
But I'm the luckiest guy on the Lower East Side
      E                   F#                   B
Cause I've got wheels and you want to go for a ride

Chris that you kissed after school 
           B                          E
Well I'm a fool, there's no doubt but when the sun comes out

And only when the sun comes out

B                    E          F#
The day is beautiful and so are you
B                        E        F#
My car is ugly but then, I'm ugly too 
B                            E        F#
I know you'd never give me a second glance

I know Professor Blumen makes you feel like a woman
    B                                 E                  
But when the wind is in your hair you laugh like a little girl
       B                           E
So you share secrets with Lou, but we've got secrets too
      F#          E                  F#
Well, one: I only keep this heap for you

But I'm the ugliest guy on the Lower East Side
