I don't remember all the lyrics but here goes: O Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz my friends all drive Porsches, I must make ammends worked hard all my life, no help from my friends O Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz O Lord won't you buy me a colour T.V. "Dialing for Dollars" is trying to reach me . . . . . . O Lord won't you buy me a night on the town . . . . . . . . . P.S: I don't think it's that horrible a song
