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
Helen Reddy - I think the title is the same as the first line

Come and lay down by my side,
til the early morning light.

boronia - the comment was not on the merits of the song, in fact, I quite like the song, but on your attribution of the artist. Did Helen Reddy really do a version of Mercedes Benz? Eh, probably. But the thought of it makes me giggle. And I'll bet 999 people out of 1000 would first think of the Janis Joplin version.

Time is on my side, yes it is,
Time is on my side, yes it is,
Now you'd always say
That you wanna be free
But you'll come runnin' back (oh baby)
You'll come runnin' back
You'll come runnin' back to meee-eee-eee

"What time is it?" said the judge
to Joey when they met.
"Five to ten," said Joey.
The judge said, "That's exactly what you get."
Joey, by Bob Dylan (from the "Desire" album)
