Song name: Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Bentz?

I'm trying to remember a song that has a somewhat twangy, country vibe and is quite old. The lyrics reference a person singing about all the fancy cars their friends own, specifically mentioning "Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?" If it helps, this song was featured in the movie "Shakespeare: Retold – Macbeth." Any assistance in identifying this song would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Mercedes Bentz by Janis Joplin?

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!
