Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porches, I must make amends.
I've worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends.
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'll wait for delivery eah day until 3.
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.
I've worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends.
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
