Lyrics:

Ooh ooh

You might not ever get rich

But let me tell ya it's better than diggin' a ditch

There ain't no tellin' who you might meet

A movie star or maybe even an Indian chief

At the car wash

Workin' at the car wash, girl

Come on and sing it with me

(Car wash)

Sing it with the feelin' y'all

(Car wash, yeah)

Ooh

Come, some of the work gets kinda hard

This ain't no place to be if you planned on bein' a star

Let me tell you it's always cool

And the boss don't mind sometimes if you act the fool

At the car wash

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Talkin' about the car wash, girl

Come on, ya'all and sing it for me

(Car wash)

Ooh ooh ooh

(Car wash, girl)

Well, those cars never seem to stop coming

(Work and work)

Keep those rags and machines humming

(Work and work)

My fingers to the bone

(Work)

Can't wait 'til it's time to go home

Fill up and you don't have to pay

Come on and give us a play

(Do the wash, right away)

Talkin' 'bout the car wash

Car wash, girl

Come on, y'all, let's sing it with me

(Car wash)

Sing it with feelin', y'all

(Car wash, girl)

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

(Car wash)

Never seem to stop comin'

What'd I say

Keep those rags and machines hummin'

(Car wash)

Let me tell you, it's always cool

And the boss don't mind sometimes if you act the fool

At the car wash

Working at the car wash, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
