Well, I just got out of the county prison doin' 90 days for nonsupport Tried to find me an executice position but no matter how smooth I talk 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 deppressin', low-down mind-messin' workin' at the carwash blues
Well, I should be sittin' in an air-conditioned office in a swivel chair Talkin' som trash to the secratary sayin' (spoken) hey now mama come on over here But still I'm stuck here rubbin' these fenders with a rag and walkin' home in soggy old shoes With them steadily deppressin', 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 rubbin' these cars
Well all I can do is shake my head, you might not believe that it's true but workin' at this indoor Niagra falls is an undiscovered Howard Hughes So baby, don't 'xpect to see with no double martini in any high-brow society news cause I got them steadily deppressin', low-down mind-messin' workin' at the car wash blues
