Working At The Car Wash Blues Lyrics

Working At The Car Wash Blues lyrics

Well, I just got out of the county prison doin'
90 days for
nonsupport
Tried to find me an executice position 
but no matter how
smooth I talk
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius 
the
man said we got all that we can use
Now I got them steadily deppressin',
low-down mind-messin'
workin' at the carwash blues

Well, I should be
sittin' in an air-conditioned 
office in a swivel chair
Talkin' som trash
to the secratary sayin'
(spoken) hey now mama come on over here
But still
I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag
and walkin' home in soggy
old shoes
With them steadily deppressin', 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 rubbin' these cars

Well all I can do is
shake my head, you might not believe that it's true
but workin' at this
indoor Niagra falls is an undiscovered Howard Hughes
So baby, don't 'xpect
to see with no double martini in any high-brow society news
cause I got them
steadily deppressin', low-down mind-messin' workin' at the car wash blues
