Lyrics Car Wash (Live) - Rose Royce

Oh, I need everybody to stand up
Come on, I need some energy
Come on! Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, hey
Come on now!

Come on, get your hands together (one, two...)
The car wash is open!

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

At the car wash
Talking about the car wash, yeah
Come on y'all and sing it with me, car wash
Sing it with feeling now, car wash, yeah

Come summer, the work gets kinda hard
This ain't no place to be if you planned on bein' a star, no, no
Let me tell you, it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you're at the pool

At the car wash
I wanna hear you singing it now
Car wash, yeah
Come on y'all and sing it with me
Car wash (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Car wash, yeah

Hey, get your car washed today
Fill up and you don't have to pay, no
Come on and give us a play, yeah

Car wash
Talking 'bout that car wash
Car wash, yeah
Come on y'all and sing it with me
Car wash
Sing it like you like it now, come on, come on
Car wash, yeah

(Car wash) Come summer, the work gets kinda hard
This ain't a place to be if you planned on bein' a star, no, no
(Car wash) Let me tell you, it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you're at the pool, come on

On bass guitar! Go 'head
Go 'head, go 'head, go 'head, go 'head, go 'head

Hey, get your car washed today
Fill up and you don't have to pay, no
Come on and give us a play, yeah-yeah-yeah

Car wash
Car wash, yeah
Come on y'all and sing it with me
Car wash
Sing it with me now
Car wash, yeah
Oh, woah-woah-woah, car wash

Those cars never seem to stop coming, hear what I say
Keep those waxin' machines humming, nah, nah (car wash)
And you know it's always cool
And the boss don't mind sometimes if you're at the pool

We love you
We love you, thank you for coming
We love you, thank you so much for being here tonight
We're outta here

Turn the volume down, baby, here we go
Jumpin' off the boom
