Mercedes Benz: Janis Joplin

Recently seeing the words "Oh Lord, won’t you buy me" as a status message of one of my batch mate reminded me of this beautiful song to which I got introduced from the friends I made in Bangalore. Beautiful song especially in its crude recording version provided as link below. A peepy cum naughty number which at the same time is a song of desire, hope and hopelessness . Will find hard to suppress your smiles after listening to it.

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!
