Original Lyrics (Rose Royce)
(Writer / Composer: Norman Jesse Whitfield)

oooo...
You might not ever get rich
But let me tell you it's better than diggin' a ditch
There ain't no tellin' who you might meet
A movie star or maybe even a Indian chief

CHORUS I:
(Working at the) carwash
Working at the carwash, yeah
Come on and sing it with me, car wash
Sing it with a feeling now, car wash yeah

Whew! Come SUMMER, the work get's kinda hard
This ain't no place to be if you PLAN on bein' a star
Let me tell you it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if we act a fool

(At the carwash) wooah. woooh, wooah, wooh
Talkin' about the carwash, yeah
Come on and sing it for me(Car wash)
Woo, woo, Hoo! ( car wash yeah)

(Work and work) Well those cars never seem to stop coming
(Work and work) Keep those RAGS and machines HUMMIN'
(Work and work) My fingers to the bone
(Work and work) PEOPLE, WE can't wait till it's time to go home

(Hey, get your car washed today)
Fill up and you don't have to pay
Come on and give us a play(GET A WASH, RIGHT AWAY!)
AT THE...Car wash
Talking about the car wash
Car wash yeah
Come on and sing it with me(Car wash)
Sing it with feeling YA'LL
Car wash yeah (background vocals repeat till fade)

(Rose's ad lib throughout vocals as above...) Wo-wo-wo-wo
Those cars never seem to stop coming , what I say?(Car Wash)
Keeps those rags and machines hummin' (car wash)
Let me tell you it's always cool, (car wash, yeah)
And the boss don't mind sometimes if we, act the fool
