The cars‘ turning 14 this November
And it\'s mostly still shiny and red
So many miles, just try to remember!
And still running fine as yet
Some parts had had to go
The old breaks were rusty and thin
And really we didn\'t want to know
The exact amount of the bill
Now it\'s worth more than it should be
The point of no return long past
A bottomless pit, there\'s no end to see
We often wonder „How long will it last?“
But today on a grey autumn morning
I sit in the car to visit a friend
At the back of my head there sounds a warning
I cut the music and try to attend
The silly old engine is coughing and wailing
My sentimental heart is ready to shrink
But hark, there\'s more! It\'s definitely ailing
The right front has certainly started to clink
And who is it hammering inside the bonnet?
And when did the pistons start with this clank?
Doctor! My car is dying! Honest!
Please help me get ready for a trip to the bank!
