Idioma Origen:
Well, I had just got out from the county prison
Doing 90 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 said, "We've got all that we can use"
Now I've got them steadily depressing
Lowdown, mind-messing
Working-at-the-Car-Wash blues
Well, I should be sitting in an air-conditioned
Office with a swivel chair
Talking some trash to the secretary
Saying "Hey now, Mama, come on over here"
Instead I'm stuck here rubbing these fenders with a rag
And walking in these soggy old shoes
With these steadily depressing
Lowdown, mind-messing
Working-at-the-Car-Wash blues
You know, a man of my ability
Should be smoking on a big cigar
Until I get myself straight, I guess I'll just have to wait
In my rubber suit, rubbing these cars
Well, all I can do is shake my head
You might not believe that it's true
Working on this end of Niagara Falls
Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes
So, baby, don't expect to see me with a double martini
In no highbrow society news
Cause I've got them steadily depressing, lowdown, mind-messing
Working-at-the-Car-Wash blues
So, baby, don't expect to see me .....
