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 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 lord, won't you buy me a mercedes-benz?
