Workin' At The Car Wash Blues

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 say, "We got all that we can use." Now I got them steadily depressin', low down mind messinWorking 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', "Here, now mama, 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 messinWorkin' 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 You might not believe that it's true For workin' at this indoor Niagara Falls Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes So baby, don't expect to see me
