Mercedes Benz by* Janis Joplin
(from the album 'Pearl')

Oh Lord, wont 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, wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?

Oh Lord, wont 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, wont you buy me a color TV ?

Oh Lord, wont you buy me a night on the town ?
Im counting on you, Lord,
please dont let me down.
Prove that you love me
and buy the next round,
Oh Lord, wont you buy me a night on the town ?

Everybody!

Oh Lord, wont 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, wont you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
Thats it!

And now our version:

Oh lord, wont you buy me a nice living space,
I live in a dump,
And I need a nice place,
Oh yeah,
Please help me save my face,
Oh lord, wont you buy me a nice living space.

Oh lord, wont you give me a big plate of food,
My money's run low
And I'm in one of those moods,
My friends seem to think
I am poor and a fool
Oh lord, wont you give me a big plate of food.

Oh lord, wont you send me a really nice boy
It's been way too long,
And he'll give me plenty of joy,
I've been dry way too long,
And I need a nice toy,
Oh lord, wont you send me a really nice boy
