Andy would bicycle across town

                         B 
in the rain to bring you candy

                       E 
and John would buy the gown

                       B 
for you to wear to the prom

               E 
with Tom the astronomer

(C): But I'm the luckiest guy

                  G#m:
on the Lower East Side

after school

and only when the sun comes out (C)

F#           E        B           F# 
  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

  B 
I know Professor Blumen

      E 
makes you feel like a woman

    B 
but when the wind is in your hair

you laugh like a little girl

So you share secrets with Lou

    E 
but we've got secrets too

      F#          E                  F# 
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
