Mercedes-Benz

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 deliv'ry
each day until three
so, Lord, won't you buy me
a color TV

Oh Lord, won't you buy me
a night on the town
I'm countin' 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

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
