Mercedes Benz
Janis Joplin
I'd like to do a song
Of a great social and poetical import
It goes like this
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime
No help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing for Dollars' is trying to find me
I wait for delivery each day until three
So Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
I'm counting on you, Lord
Please don't let me down
Prove that you love me and buy the next round
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?
Everybody!
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime
No help from my friends
So Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
That's it!
