“oh lord won’t you buy me a mercedes benz . . .”

my friends all drive porches, 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 colour tv, dialing for dollars is trying to find me, i’ll wait for delivery each day until 3, so oh lord won’t you buy me a colour tv

oh lord won’t you buy me a night on the town? i’m counting on you lord, so 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 porches 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”

in memory of janis lyn joplin: january 19th, 1943 – october 4th, 1970

- and oh, the car is a 1965 ferrari 275 gtb-

peace
