I've been working on my rewrite, that's right I'm gonna change the ending Gonna throw away my title And toss it in the trash Every minute after midnight All the time I'm spending It's just for working on my rewrite Gonna turn it into cash
I've been working at the carwash 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 working at the carwash Hasn't got a brain cell left since Vietnam
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'm working on my rewrite, that's right I'm gonna change the ending Gonna throw away my title And toss it in the trash Every minute after midnight All the time I'm spending Is just for working on my rewrite, that's right I'm gonna turn it into cash
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 When the father saves the children And he holds them in his arms
And 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
