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?

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?

Only die-hard SongChasers and the flat-out fortunate seekers, lovers of small indie theater and playwriting along with close observers of Dylan's Rolling Thunder\Blunder (thanks Arlo Guthrie for alt name) Revue circa 1975-78 will have any idea who Bobby Neuwirth was, although his few and far between albums on the Global Monopoly labels gave way to indie labels recorded on the sheqels of his close friends among the SongChaser communities of North America's regional pockets of bardic tradition.

Thanks for evoking that brief time years and an era After the Goldrush....

Keep on doing!
