[Janis Joplin]
I'd like to do a song of great social and political import

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

[Beck]
I'm coming over; see me down at the station by the lane
With my hands in my pocket
Jingling a wish coin, that I stole from a fountain
That was drowning all the cares in the world
When I get older, climbing up on the back porch fence
Just to see the dogs running
With a ring and a question and my shivering
Voice is singing through a crack in the window
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na

[Janis Joplin (Beck)]
Oh lord, won’t you buy me a color TV (Na na na na na)
Dialing for dollars is trying to find me (Na na na na na)
I wait for delivery each day until three (Na na na na na)
So oh lord, won’t you buy me a color TV (Na na na na na)
[Beck]
I'm coming over; see you down at the station by the lane
With my hands in my pocket
Jingling a wish coin, that I stole from a fountain
That was drowning all the cares in the world
When I get older, climbing up on the back fence
Pointing to the dogs standing firm
With a ring and a question, dime-a-dozen
In a voice that was singing underneath my window
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na, I better go it alone
Na na na na na, I better go it alone, Na na na na na

[Janis Joplin (Beck)]
Oh lord, won't you buy me a night on the town (Na na na na na)
I’m counting on you, lord, please don’t let me down (Na na na na na)
Prove that you love me and buy the next round (Na na na na na)
Oh lord, won't you buy me a night on the town (Na na na na na)

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!
