Lyrics

Working at the car wash, yeah

According to Songfacts, Norman Whitfield, who wrote many Motown classics, was commissioned to write songs for the soundtrack of the movie Car Wash. He was having a meal of Kentucky Fried Chicken (it wasn't called KFC back then) while watching a basketball game, when inspiration struck. He wrote the lyrics on the bag containing the chicken. The song fit very well in the movie, which was about a rather funky car wash. For more info on Car Wash check out http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=5709. View wiki
