Dedicated to the Queen of Kozmic Blues, Janis Joplin (1943-1970)
MERCEDES BENZ
Words and Music by Janis Joplin and Michael McClure, co-writer Bob Neuwirth
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 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 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 Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
That's it! (... hahaha ...)
