O Lord Won't You Buy Me A Mercedes Benz?

[lsanderson]

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
Or a bundle of clue sticks, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, some help from my friends
So oh! 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?

My friends all have Porsches,
I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime.
No help from my friends

I was watching "Dialing for Dollars" on Bay Area local TV (an afternoon movie show) shortly after that song came out, oh, nearly 40 years ago. The host played a small clip of the song and thanked Janis for mentioning them. Then he added something about how he now felt famous to have made it into a song.
