Well I had just got out
Of 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
Man said,
''We got all
That we can use''
Now I got them
Steadily depressin'
Lowdown mind-messin'
Workin' at the
Car wash blues
Well, I should be
Sittin' in an air
Conditioned office
In 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
And walkin' home
In soggy ol' shoes
With them
Steadily depressin'
Lowdown mind-messin'
Workin' at the
Car wash blues
You know a man
Of my ability
He should be smokin'
On a big cigar
Until 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 shake my head
You might not believe
That it's true
But workin' at this end
Of Niagara Falls
Is an undiscovered
Howard Hughes
So baby,
Don't expect to see me
With a double martini
In a highbrow
Society news
'Cuz I got them
Steadily depressin'
Lowdown mind-messin'
Workin' at the
Car wash blues
So baby,
Don't expect to see me
With a double martini
In the highbrow
Society news
'Cuz I got them
Steadily depressin'
Lowdown mind-messin'
Workin' at the
Car wash blues
Yeah, I got them
Steadily depressin'
Lowdown mind-messin'
Workin' at the
Car wash blues...
