I don't remember all of them, but maybe between several of us we can figure
them all out.
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
All my friends drive Porsches I must make amends
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV
Dialing for dollars is tryin' to find me
That's all I remember.

I seem to recall a part right after "My friends all drive Porsches" that
goes
Worked hard all my lifetime
No help from my friends,
so Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
(Then the color tv part)
I wait for delivery
Each day until three
So 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 by the next rain
oh lord won't you buy me
a night on the town
(everybody now)
then first verse again.

Here's how I remember it:
<spoken intro>
I'd like to do a song of great social and political import...
Goes like this
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedez Benz
My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime
No help from my friends
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedez Benz
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV
Dialing for Dollars
is trying to find me
I'll wait for delivery
each day until three
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
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedez Benz
My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime
No help from my friends
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedez Benz
<spoken again>
that's it...hahahaha
at least this is the way it is on "18 Essential Songs"
Long Live Janis!

I seem to remember these lines as:
"prove that you love me
and buy the next round"
though I could be wrong. -- Sid
I never dared be radical when young
For fear it would make me conservative when old.
"Precaution" -- Robert Frost
"It is one of the most beautiful compensations
of this life that no man can sincerely try to help
another without helping himself." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Your probably right... I was listening to the song and writing it out.
I thought it sounded a little funny that way anyway.
