Workin' At The Car Wash Blues

Well I had just got out from the county prison
Doin' 90 days for non-support
But no matter how smooth I talked
Tried to find me an executive position
Now I got them
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was genius
Workin' at the carwash blues.
The man said, We got all that we can use.
Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'
Well I should be sittin' in an air conditioned
office with a swivel chair
Talkin' some trash to the secretary, sayin',
Hey now mama, come on over here.
Instead I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag
Workin' at the carwash blues
And walkin' home in soggy old shoes
With them steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'
You know a man of my ability
But till I get myself straight,
He should be smokin' on a big cigar
I guess I'll just have to wait

In my rubber suit rubbin' these cars.
Well, all I can do is just shake my head
You might not believe that it's true
For working at this end of Niagara Falls
So baby, don't 'spect to see me
Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes
With no double martini
Cause I got them
In any high-brow society news
Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'
Workin' at the carwash blues.
So baby, don't 'spect 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 carwash blues.
Yeah, I got them
Workin' at the carwash blues.Steadily depressin', low down mind-messin'
