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

with apologies to ms janis:

when she said, "I'd like to do a song of great social and political import" she couldn't possibly have know how prophetic those words would become...

Oh lord O-bama, 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 republicans,
So Oh lord O-bama, won't you buy me a mercedes benz?

Oh lord O-bama, 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 O-bama, won't you buy me a color tv?

Oh lord O-bama, 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 O-bama, won't you buy me a night on the town?

Everybody!
Oh lord O-bama, 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 republicans,
So Oh lord O-bama, won't you buy me a mercedes benz?

That's it.

-- lyrics by Janis Joplin

I know this would be funny if it just weren't so sad...
