A favorite of mine by Janis Joplin. @jitterboogie

[Intro]
I'd like to do a song of great social and political import
It goes like this

[Verse 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
So, oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

[Verse 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
So, oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV?

[Verse 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
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town?

[Verse 4]
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?

My sister used to walk around the house singing this when we were kids. She finally got a Mercedes Benz briefly when her husband got stationed in Germany and they were as common as a Ford in the States. Just yesterday I found myself singing this tune and couldn't get past the first verse.

I would accept a Mercedes-Benz if you were to acquire one on my behalf.

How about a Chrysler Crossfire? Mercedes problems without the name.
