The past few months I have been working on our 914s for Okteenerfest, this started to churn in my head. It started when I heard the song it is based on while listening to the radio, and part of the chorus popped in to my head.


And yes, I did sing it. I was a bit "lubricated" at the time.

I edited it to include the two new verses.

Enjoy!!

===================================================

NineFourteenerVille - Sung to the tune of Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet.

(Verse 1)

Adjustin the park brake

Watching the rust flake

Heat Exchangers are covered in oil

UPS drop ships

On my front porch step

Boxes of parts to continue my toil


(Chorus)

Wastin away again in NineFourteenerVille

Searchin for my lost CV joint bolts

Some people claim there's a woman to blame

But I know...

It's nobody's fault.


(Verse 2)

Blew out a brake line

Cruised through a stop sign

Called Triple A, had it towed on back home

Sanding the fender

Replaced the oil sender

On this rusty old sports car that helps me hang on

(Chorus)

Wastin away again in NineFourteenerVille

Searchin for my lost CV joint bolts

Some people claim there's a woman to blame

Ya I know...

It's my own damn fault!

(Verse 3)


Got out my jack stands

Came up with a new plan

Bought me a welder to fix all that rust

Way down in the hell hole

Almost lost my soul

I’ll make this car better or I’ll go bust



(Chorus)

Wastin away again in NineFourteenerVille

Searchin for my lost CV joint bolts

Some people claim there's a woman to blame

Ya I know...

It's really her fault!


(Verse 4)

Don't know the reason

It kept it running all season

First time it's done that in so many years

But you know the clutch cable

Will end up on the table

These damned 'ol Porsches can leave you in tears....


(Chorus)

Wastin away again in NineFourteenerVille

Searchin for my lost CV joint bolts

Some people claim there's a woman to blame

Now I'm sure

It's her damn fault!

===================================================

For those of you who don't know this, my wife, Betty, had her 914 when I met her 33 years ago. So the end of the last chorus is dedicated to her.

Next verse:

I got out my jack stands

Came up with a new plan

Bought me a welder to fix all that rust

Way down in the hell hole

I nearly lost my soul

I’ll make this car better or I’ll go bust


Here you go @ClayPerrine I got inspired and finished the last verse

If y'all keep this up, we are going to have more verses than the original song.

How about,

Some people claim that Butzi Porsche's to blame
But I know, it's all Klie's fault...
