MERCEDES BENZ. . .
JANIS JOPLIN

Spoken:]
I'd like to do a song of great social and political import.
It goes like this.

[Sung, a capella:]
Oh Lord, won't'cha 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'cha buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord, won’t'cha buy me a color TV?
[Dialing For Dollars] 1 is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,

So oh Lord, won’t'cha 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?
