Mercedes Benz (midi)

(spoken : ) I'd like to to a song of great social and poilitical import.

It goes like this:

(D)

1. 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,

(A) (D)

so Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

(D)

2. 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,

(A) (D)

So Lord, won’t you buy me a color TV ?

(D)

3. 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,

(A) (D)

oh Lord, won’t you buy me a night on the town ?

4. = repeat verse 1

(Janis Joplin)
