Mercedes Benz
1’03” / Words & Music by Janis Joplin & Bob Newirth
Arrangements & Vocals by Tal Zana & Ragazzina
This is a rearrangement for six vocals, bass and drums of the wonderful Janis Joplin track of the same name. Composed overnight in a feverish harmonization frenzy, this track features Ragazzina in the lead and both of us in backing vocals. Written and recorded in six hours in 1996.

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?
