Mercedes Benz by Janis Joplin

 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 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!

how does one get a voice like Janis Joplin? I sometimes fantasize about getting in some kind of accident where my throat gets damaged and I end up having a rad fucked up voice where I can make a million bucks doing voice overs for cartoons. Then I could finally live the American dream and finally drive a Mercedes Benz.

Well... all that herin and hashish. Probably had something to do with it. Our friend T is what Janice would have become if she had lived. Sad she didnt.
