Car Wash Blues

I am in quite a fix
I am gaining weight constantly, absolutely constantly
And about ten months ago, I got my car washed
And they broke my front seat

Now, if I could adjust it, I could fit behind the steering
wheel more comfortably
But that just ain’t gonna happen
And every week the tight fit gets a little tighter
And pretty soon, I’m going to be taking cabs around town

I definitely have the car wash blues
Will my family buy me a new car?
(A bigger one, of course)
I sincerely hope so
Or else I’ll be in a whole heap of trouble
