Mercedes Benz Songtext
von Janis Joplin

I′d like to do a song of great social and political 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, 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 three
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?
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, oh Lord, won′t you buy me a Mercedes Benz?


That's it
