原歌词

[00:06.61]	Well, I had just got out
[00:08.81]	from the county prison
[00:11.08]	Doin' ninety days for non-support
[00:14.71]	Tried to find me an executive position
[00:18.41]	But no matter how smooth I talked
[00:21.11]	They wouldn't listen to the fact
[00:23.16]	that I was a genius
[00:24.77]	The man say, 'We got only we can use.'
[00:28.09]	Now I got them steadily depressin'
[00:31.18]	low down mind messin'
[00:33.06]	Working at the car wash blues
[00:35.68]	Well, I should be sittin' in
[00:38.54]	an air conditioned office in a swivel chair
[00:42.74]	Talkin' some trash to the secretary
[00:47.08]	Sayin', 'Here, now mama,
[00:48.56]	come on over here.'
[00:50.58]	Instead, I'm stuck here rubbin'
[00:52.96]	these fenders with a rag
[00:54.75]	And walkin' home in soggy old shoes
[00:57.39]	With them steadily depressin',
[01:00.05]	low down mind messin'
[01:01.75]	Workin' at the car wash blues
[01:04.86]	You know a man of my ability
[01:09.02]	He should be smokin' on a big cigar
[01:12.33]	But till I get myself straight
[01:14.20]	I guess I'll just have to wait
[01:16.10]	In my rubber suit a-rubbin' these cars
[01:20.54]	Well, all I can do is a shake my head
[01:24.95]	You might not believe that it's true
[01:28.19]	For workin' at this end on Niagara Falls
[01:31.86]	Is an undiscovered Howard Hughes
[01:35.02]	So baby, don't spect to see me
[01:37.50]	With no double martini in
[01:39.57]	my high-brow society news
[01:42.10]	Cause I got them steadily depressin',
[01:45.09]	low down mind messin'
[01:46.88]	Workin' at the car wash blues
[02:04.12]	So baby, don't spect to see me
[02:06.06]	With no double martini in my high-brow
[02:08.49]	society news
[02:10.22]	Cause I got them steadily depressin',
[02:13.40]	low down mind messin'
[02:15.41]	Workin' at the car wash blues
[02:17.88]	Yeah I got them steadily depressin',
[02:20.95]	low down mind messin'
[02:22.54]	Workin' at the car wash blues
[02:24.76]

歌词翻译

[00:06.61]	哦，我刚从
[00:08.81]	郡里的监狱出来
[00:11.08]	在监狱里干了九十天的活
[00:14.71]	出来后，我觉得应该当个经理
[00:18.41]	但无论我怎么对那些人说都不行
[00:21.11]	他们不听那事实——
[00:23.16]	我是天才
[00:24.77]	那个男的说，“我们只聘用我们用得上的人”
[00:28.09]	现在我被他们搞得非常地沮丧
[00:31.18]	内心失落，心绪不宁
[00:33.06]	在蓝调洗车店工作
[00:35.68]	唉，我本应坐在转椅上
[00:38.54]	身处有空调的办公室
[00:42.74]	和秘书说点废话
[00:47.08]	比如说：“这儿，现在，妈
[00:48.56]	快点过来”
[00:50.58]	但是我反而被困在这儿
[00:52.96]	用块破布擦这些挡泥板
[00:54.75]	还得穿着湿透的旧鞋走回家
[00:57.39]	这些不尽人意的东西
[01:00.05]	让我内心一团乱麻又沮丧
[01:01.75]	在洗车房工作
[01:04.86]	你知道，具有我才能的人
[01:09.02]	他应该正抽着大雪茄呢
[01:12.33]	但直到我重振旗鼓之前
[01:14.20]	我想我不得不穿着橡胶衣服
[01:16.10]	一直擦车来等待
[01:20.54]	唉，我能干的就只有摇头
[01:24.95]	你可能都不信这是真的——
[01:28.19]	在尼亚加拉大瀑布下游工作的人
[01:31.86]	是一个怀才不遇的霍华德·休斯
[01:35.02]	所以啊宝贝，别想在任何
[01:37.50]	上流社会的新闻里看见
[01:39.57]	手里没有两瓶马提尼酒的我
[01:42.10]	因为我被他们搞得非常地沮丧
[01:45.09]	内心失落，心绪不宁
[01:46.88]	在蓝调洗车店工作
[02:04.12]	所以啊宝贝，别想在任何
[02:06.06]	上流社会的新闻里看见
[02:08.49]	手里没有两瓶马提尼酒的我
[02:10.22]	因为我被他们搞得非常地沮丧
[02:13.40]	内心失落，心绪不宁
[02:15.41]	在蓝调洗车店工作
[02:17.88]	是的，我被他们搞得非常地沮丧
[02:20.95]	内心失落，心绪不宁
[02:22.54]	在蓝调洗车店工作
