JIM CROCE
- Workin' At The Car Wash Blues LyricsWell, I just got out
of the county prison doin'
90 days for nonsupport
Tried to find me
an executive 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 depressin'
low-down mind-messin'
workin' at the carwash blues
Well, I should be sittin'
in an air-conditioned
office in a swivel chair
Talkin' some 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 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 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 Niagara falls is
an undiscovered Howard Hughes
So baby, don't 'spect 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
of the county prison doin'
90 days for nonsupport
Tried to find me
an executive 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 depressin'
low-down mind-messin'
workin' at the carwash blues
Well, I should be sittin'
in an air-conditioned
office in a swivel chair
Talkin' some 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
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 Niagara falls is
an undiscovered Howard Hughes
So baby, don't 'spect 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
