"Mercedes Benz" Lyrics

Lyrics & Music by: Bobby Neuwirth, Janis Joplin, Mac McClure

We'd like to do a song of great social and poetical import
[Humming]

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'll 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,
So Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?

[Humming]
