workin' at the carwash blues

Lyrics

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 said we got all that we can use, now i got them steadily depressin' low down mind messin', workin' at the car wash blues, well i should be sittin' in some air-conditioned, office in a swivel chair, talkin' me some trash to the secretaries, sayin' hey honey 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, cause you might not believe that it's true, for workin' at this end of niagara falls, is an 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, i got them steadily depressin' low down mind messin', workin' at the car wash blues
