I'd like to do a song of great social and political import.

[Ptah]

It goes like this.

Oh Lord, won't'cha 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'cha buy me a Mercedes Benz?

Oh Lord, won’t'cha 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'cha buy me a color TV ?

[Steerpike]
