Jukebox: Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz

   "Mercedes Benz" es una canción a capella grabada por Janis Joplin el 1 de octubre de 1970. Ese día también grabó un "Happy Birthday" para John Lennon y esos fueron sus últimos tracks grabados ya que falleció tres días después. La canción aparece en el album Pearl de 1971.

   Va por dos: la grabación original y un excelente remix lanzado años más tarde.

Letra
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!
