The song was (oddly enough) "Mercedes Benz" by Janis Joplin. I remember the first verse and the beginning of the other two verses... 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... Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town... (I haven't thought of this song since high school!) B.K. Cobb ihnp4!ihuxi!okie
