Mercedes Benz

by Janis Joplin

-------------

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 oh 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 3.

So oh 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.

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 oh lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
