**Mercedes Benz**
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?
Everybody!
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 oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?

**Flower in the Sun**
Oh please don't you think baby that I am wrong to cry, yeah.
You loved me, too,
So how come you just sit there and laugh
And laugh and laugh and laugh ?
Things just can't be this way
And not for very long
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
Our love affair said it's just history, yes it is.
And I tried to love you in my own way,
I think that you know I did.
But to have you here, to see you living,
Oh so near to me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh but you are distant and so it's dead
And so often people are glad to be old, yeah yeah,
Our love affair is just history, yes it is.
Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.
Once in a green time a flower
Oh, fell in love with the sun.
The passion lasted for an hour
And then she wilted from her loved one.
And I see you looking up at the sky, how high it is, yeah.
You wonder if there is, whoa another me
Now how can that be, how can it be?
Well, I sit here and I ask you, why all this?
I just got toni-ni-ni-night
Our love affair said it's just a history
But baby, baby, I said it's over, Charlie,
I can't stand another lo-lo-lonely,
I'm never too lonely.
It's over baby,
Where were you when I wanted ya,
And needed ya right by my side?
I said-a, baby, baby, don't you feel me moving,
Baby, don't you hear me cry?
I know I hurt you, but Lord don't you know I cried,
I know I hurt you, but babe don't you know I tried,
Oh baby, oh babe, whoa.

**Easy Rider**
Hey mama, mama, come a look at sister,
She's a-standing on the levee trying to do that twist,
But easy rider don't you deny my name,
Oh no, oh no.
Well, I got a girl with a diamond ring,
I'll tell you, boys, she knows how to shake that thing.
Oh! Easy rider don't you deny my name,
Oh no, oh no.
Play it!
Well, I got a horse and he lives in a tree,
He watches Huckleberry Hound on his TV.
But easy rider don't you deny my name,
Oh no, oh no.
I would buy you a plastic suit
And I would even buy you some cardboard fruit.
Oh! But easy rider don't you deny my name,
Oh no, oh no.
Yeah, easy rider, don't you deny my name, pretty baby doll
I said, easy rider, don't you deny my name, pretty baby doll
I said, easy rider, don't you deny my name, pretty baby doll
I said, easy rider, don't you deny my name, pretty baby

**Me And Bobby McGee**
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Waitin' for a train
Well I was feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
Just before it rained,
That rode us all the way into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty, red bandana
And I was playing soft while Bobby sang the blues
Windshield wipers slappin' time,
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin' don't mean nothin' if it ain't free
Yea and feelin' good was easy, Lord,
When Bobby sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Through all kinds of weather and
Through everything that we done
I said Bobby baby, he kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord,
I let him slip away
He was lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all my tomorrows
For one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word
For nothin' left to lose
Nothin' don't mean nothin' if it ain't free
Yea and feelin' good was easy, Lord,
When Bobby sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Hell, I'd call him my lover,
I'd call him my man
I'd call him my lover,
I'd do the best I can
