             G
Well, I had just got out from the county prison

Doin' ninety days for non-support

Tried to find me an executive position

They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius

Talkin' some trash to the secretaries

Instead 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'

But till I get myself straight I guess I'll just have to wait

In my rubber suit a-rubbin' these cars

Well, all I can do is a shake my head

With no double martini in any high-brow society news
