Working At The Car Wash Blues

two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I had just gotten out of the county prison
Doing 90 days for non-support

Left allemande the corner, dosado your own
Left allemande and weave the ring
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius
The man said we got all that we can use
With them steadily depressing, low-down mind messing
Working at the car wash blues


FIGURE    Mainstream - SSD Week 12, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway
Square thru 2, swing thru, boys run
Bend the line right & left thru
Pass the ocean, recycle
Swing and promenade
With them steadily depressing, low-down mind messing
Working at the car wash blues


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
I should be sitting in an air conditioned
Office with a swivel chair

Left allemande the corner, dosado your own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Instead I'm stuck here rubbing these fenders with a rag
And walking home with soggy old shoes
With them steadily depressing, low-down mind messing
Working at the car wash blues


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four boys promenade one time around
Get back and swing with your man
Join hands circle left
Allemande left and weave the ring
They wouldn't listen to the fact that I was a genius
The man said we got all that we can use
With those steadily depressing, low-down mind messing
Working at the car wash blues
