Letras
Well, I had just got out from the county prison
Doin' 90 days for non-support
Tryin' 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've 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 'til 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
'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
