Janis Joplin '09 Poem by Mike Michaels
Janis Joplin '09
If anyone wants to google the original lyrics, the first line was approximately 'Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz'
Sorry Janis......
Oh Lord, please pur-chase me a luxury vehicle
I am impecunious, I need a miracle
Rode the bus all my lifetime to immense ridicule
So Lord, please pur-chase me a luxury vehicle
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a laptop PC
They are all beyond my affordability
How I have yearned for computing portability
With onboard universal, wireless connectivity
Lord if you buy me a laptop PC
I promise, every Sunday, you will hear from me
Oh Lord, please build me a luxury residence
I know you can hear me, I require no evidence
Just ten bedrooms, a swimming pool and an electrified fence
And my soul will be yours from this day hence
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a plasma TV
My old cathode ray tube is too hard to see
I need something larger, with HD in 3D
And I'm sorry that last year I wrote to SC
Please don't take offence, accept my apology
Then Lord please send me that plasma TV

I asked him, 'Please god help me win the lottery.' And the week passed and I did not win. I went again to the hill And spoke to God. I said, 'Dear God, I've asked you twice before, please help me win the lottery' This time the clouds parted and a mighty voice, The voice of God spoke, 'You've got to buy a ticket. (The Lord helps those who help themselves.) s
