MERCEDES BENZ
Janis Joplin
O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
My friends all have Porsches I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?
O Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me
I'll wait for delivery each day until 3
O 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 & buy the next round.
Oh Lord won't you buy me a night on the town
