I Got A Name

Well, 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
