Well I had Gjust got out of the county prison doin' D90 days for non-supportD7
DTried to find me an executive position but no matter how smooth I Gtalked
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius
The man said "We Cgot all that we can A7use!"
Now I got them Gsteadily deB7pressin', Emlow-down G7mind-messin
CWorkin at the Dcar wash GbluesD
v.2
Well I should be sittin' in a air-conditioned office in a swivel chair
Talkin' some trash to a secretary, sayin "hey now, mama, c'mon over here"
Instead I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag
An walkin' home in soggy ol' shoes
With them steadily depressin', low-down mind-messin
Workin at the car wash blues
Refrain:
You know a Cman of my ability he should be smokin' on a big ciGgar
But til I Cget myself straight, I guess I'll just have to wait
In my Arubber suit, rubbin' these Dcars
v.3
Well, all I can do is shake my head, you might not believe that it's true
Workin' at this end of Niagara Falls is an undiscovered Howard Hughes
So baby, don't 'spect to see me with no double martini
In any highbrow society news
Cause I got them steadily depressin', low-down mind-messin
Workin at the car wash blues
Instr. Brk.
So baby, don't 'spect to see me with no double martini
In any highbrow society news
I said I got them steadily depressin', low-down mind-messin
Workin at the car wash blues
