On Top Of Old Bluebird
(To the tune of "On top of old Smoky")

We drive an old bluebird, it gives us a thrill
To watch the trucks pass us when we're going uphill.

We love out old bluebirds, there're dear to our heart
Sometimes when it's cold out they won't even start.

They may not be fancy, they may not be new
And thought they are bluebirds, they may not be blue.

We've been to Wyoming, we're going to nome
We've been to Missouri, we never stay home.

We go to our rallies to meet our old pals.
We can't wait to see them, those great guys and gals.

When we get together the fun never ends
With laughter and sharing and making new friends.

Yes, we love our old Bluebirds too deeply for words
We're proud to be known as those Old Vintage Birds
