Well, I had just got out from the county prison |
|
Doin' ninety days for non-support |
|
Tried to find me an executive position |
|
But no matter how smooth I talked |
|
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius |
|
The man say, "We got all that we can use" |
|
Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' |
|
Working at the car wash blues |
|
Well, I should be sittin' in a air conditioned office in a swivel chair |
|
Talkin' some trash to the secretaries |
|
Sayin', "Here, now mama, come on over here" |
|
Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag |
|
And walkin' home in soggy old shoes |
|
With them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' |
|
Workin' at the car wash blues |
|
You know a man of my ability |
|
He should be smokin' on a big cigar |
|
But till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait |
|
In my rubber suit a-rubbin' these cars |
|
Well, all I can do is a shake my head |
|
You might not believe that it's true |
|
For workin' at this end on Niagara Falls |
|
Is a undiscovered Howard Hughes |
|
So baby, don't expect to see me |
|
With no double martini in any high-brow society news |
|
'Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' |
|
Workin' at the car wash blues |
|
So baby, don't expect to see me |
|
With no double martini in any high-brow society news |
|
'Cause I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' |
|
Workin' at the car wash blues |
|
Yeah, I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messin' |
|
Workin' at the car wash blues |
