I'd like to do a song of a great social and poetical import. It goes like this-
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porches, 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?
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 3.
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 Porches, 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?

I started to like this song after I heard it on DJ Yoda and Greenpeace's Essential Mix from 2003. That and it being on a Mercedes commercial.  | | 07-11-2004 17:58 canadienne |
