Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Red Ferrari Convertible?
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 Red Ferrari Convertible?
Thank you Janis Joplin. Janis was of my genre, in fact I had a crush on her. May you RIP, you poor free soul.Okay purists, there is blue in this picture. Though it isn't the car nor on our youngest Grandchild, KP. KP doesn't look very blue either, does she.
She and Billy have found the Toys"R"Us store in London. I think they will return. Billy, are you sure now, that you don't want a nice yard with sidewalks? KP would love to ride around exploring every inch?
Oh yes, this picture on the right? I am taking notes for Mrs. Jim's upcoming annual performance review. Keep posted.
The graph is showing results of "affection polls." We shall see if hers follow the norm and have taken a down turn. I'm taking bets and am going with hers having not gone down. We shall see.
If you want to post a MidWeek Blues picture, go get directions from Rebecca by clicking here. She has a Mr. Linky and good directions . Just do what I did. Or do less. All she requires is a BLUE PICTURE or BLUE THOUGHT, you don't have to write.
Janis Joplin Lyrics (link)
"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 ?
That's it!
I love Janis' Mercedes Benz. One of my all time favorites of hers. I never had a crush on her though. Bwahahahahaha.
ReplyDeleteKP is adorable, but you already know that. Toys R Us is a fun place to explore too.
Have a terrific day. :)
Very cute! To be little again, and able to fit in such cars would be a blast :)
ReplyDeleteI know the song, even if just a little before my tune era - she is classic!!
Amoeba sings this song often. He is not as cute as KP. Don't tell him I said that, though.
ReplyDeleteI see the draw to red cars begins early! I bet those little cars are a blast...I always wanted to pretend to drive in one when I was little. But that was pre plastics. LOL
ReplyDeleteLook at KP!
ReplyDeleteshe's adorable
funny, Hope loves cars too
I adored Janis and have all her albums
and Mercedes Benz was always one of my most favorite songs
KP is so pretty!! My, how she has grown!!! She looks great in that car. She should definitely have it!
ReplyDeleteYou have tarantulas there?? You were brave to kill it. They are scary looking things!
KP looks absolutely happy in her car.:p it's a sign, her parents should start saving for a mercedes benz.:p
ReplyDeleteHi Jim ~~ I can't get over how much KP has grown. She looks just right in that car.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words. I had a good day (half hour) and was told to come back in a fortnight, so I get a week off. She must be able to tell that I faithfully do all the exercises. I think I am getting fitter than befor the recent hospital etc
I know I will have to keep doing some for the rest of my life, probably.
Sorry you are having knee problems and hope that can be fixed for you.
Glad you enjoyed the jokes.Like you I always forget the punch line, so don't mind hearing them again. Take care my
friend. Regards, Merle.
Of your genre or your generation? I liked her too, but she done gone home before I knew it.
