01x12 - Born a Rambler Man

[bunniefuu]

I gotta go and it helps someone work on

their car and horn reminds me of my

dad's old car oh he loved that car

it introduced it to people it's my car

yeah that's my family over there yes

yeah my dad thought his car would do

anything you know Louie if this car had

wings it could fly you gotta try that

dad don't get smart with me dad my dad

always said that to me once why didn't I

turn around and go home

holds his dad I'm acting dumb enough for

you he's working on the car of my dad my

job was to hand them tools I'd stand

there hand them tools I didn't know

anything about tools no wait give me a

9/16 wrench does it have a blue handle

the only fun is when he hit his knuckle

in there that tool would come flying out

[Music]

my dad loved his car he treated it like

a member of the family you feeling all

right much better thanks never should

have had that caramel corn for breakfast

I wasn't talking to you little baby here

how you feeling my fine for offended

friend actually he treated the car like

his favorite member of the family

he used to introduce it to people hey

do it justice at all

[Music]

what do we have to do this every year

dad this is so embarrassing

what are you talking about we have every

right to be in this parade it's Veterans

Day and I'm a veteran look at all those

cars they're classics Model T Bentley

Studebaker and the Rambler this is a

classic - when they made this one they

broke the mold there's probably good

reason for that dad the thing is after

20 years of faithful service dad's

favorite member of the family that's

real original

easy now the Ramblers been sick before

but this time why all the sad faces the

car dad instead what are you talking

about this baby he's just tired I don't

know Andy it has seen better days well

buttercup get her beauty sleep aren't

you coming in dad why leave my baby out

here a sitting knack for all those

karthi's yeah thanks

the criminal masterminds from all over

the country just to steal this little

old dead Rambler you'd be surprised

[Music]
