| 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 wouldnt 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 messin | 
| Working at the car wash blues | 
| Well, I should be sittin in an air conditioned office in a swivel chair | 
| Talkin some trash to the secretaries | 
| Sayin, here, now mama, come on over here. | 
| Instead, Im 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 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 workin at this end of niagara falls | 
| Is an undiscovered howard hughes | 
| So baby, dont 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 | 
| So baby, dont 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 | 
| Yeah I got them steadily depressin, low down mind messin | 
| Workin at the car wash blues |
