0:07Well I had just got out from the county prison
0:11Doing ninety days for non-support
0:15Tried to find me an executive position
0:18But no matter how smooth I talked
0:20They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius
0:24The man say we got all that we can use
0:28Now I got them steadily depressing
0:31Low down mind messing
0:33Working at the car wash blues
0:36Well I should be sitting in an air
0:39Conditioned office in a swivel chair
0:44Talking some trash to the secretaries
0:47Saying here now mama come on over here
0:50Instead I'm stuck here rubbing these fenders with a rag
0:54And walking home in soggy old shoes
0:57With them steadily depressing low down mind messing
1:02Working at the car wash blues
1:04You know a man of my ability
1:08He should be smoking on a big cigar
1:12But till I get myself straight
1:14I guess Ill just have to wait
1:15In my rubber suit a-rubbin these cars
1:21Well all I can do is a shake my head
1:25You might not believe that its true
1:28For working at this end of niagara falls
1:32Is an undiscovered howard hughes
1:34So baby don't expect to see me
1:37With no double martini in
1:39Any high-brow society news
1:42Cause I got them steadily depressing
1:45Low down mind messing
1:47Working at the car wash blues
2:03So baby don't expect to see me
2:06With no double martini in
2:07Any high-brow society news
2:10Cause I got them steadily depressing
2:13Low down mind messing
2:15Working at the car wash blues
2:17Yeah I got them steadily depressing
2:20Low down mind messing
2:22Working at the car wash blues
Well I had just got out from the county prison Doing 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 depressing Low down mind messing Working at the car wash blues Well I should be sitting in an air Conditioned office in a swivel chair Talking some trash to the secretaries Saying here now mama come on over here Instead I'm stuck here rubbing these fenders with a rag And walking home in soggy old shoes With them steadily depressing low down mind messing Working at the car wash blues You know a man of my ability He should be smoking on a big cigar But till I get myself straight I guess Ill 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 its true For working 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 depressing Low down mind messing Working at the car wash blues So baby don't expect to see me With no double martini in Any high-brow society news Cause I got them steadily depressing Low down mind messing Working at the car wash blues Yeah I got them steadily depressing Low down mind messing Working at the car wash blues
