I'm workin' on my rewrite, that's right
|
Gonna change the ending
|
Throw away the title
|
Toss it in the trash
|
Every minute after midnight
|
All the time I'm spending
|
Is just for workin'on my rewrite
|
Gonna turn it into cash
|
|
I been workin' at the Car Wash
|
I consider it my day job
|
'Cause it's really not a pay job
|
But that's where I am
|
Everybody says "The old guy
|
Workin'at the Car Wash?"
|
Hasn't got a brain cell left
|
Since Vietnam
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
But I say
|
Help me, help me
|
Help me, help me
|
Thank you!
|
I'd no idea
|
That you were there
|
|
When I said help me, help me
|
Help me, help me
|
Thank you
|
For listening to my prayer
|
|
I'll eliminate the pages
|
Where the father has a breakdown
|
And he has to leave the family
|
But he really meant no harm
|
Gonna substitute a car chase
|
And a race across the rooftops
|
Where the father saves the children
|
And he holds them in his arms
|
|
Yeah I'm workin'on my rewrite, all right
|
Gonna change my ending
|
Throw away the title
|
Toss it in the trash
|
Every minute after midnight
|
All the Time I'm spending
|
Is just for workin'on my rewrite.
|
Gonna turn it into cash
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
I said
|
Help me, help me
|
Help me, help me
|
Thank you!
|
I'd no idea
|
That you were there
|
