Studebaker Ponderosa
Uncle Russell had a color TV / the first one in the family
he lived in Santa Ana ‘neath an acorn tree / Uncle Russell had a color TV
my Dad drove a green Studebaker / we’d drive to Uncle Russell’s through orange grove acres
past the Crow’s Nest bar and a church full of Quakers / my dad drove a green Studebaker
we’d watch Bonanza, eating apple pie / check out the blue in that Ponderosa sky!
Mom likes Hoss, he’s a likable guy / we’d watch Bonanza, eating apple pie
Studebaker Ponderosa / Studebaker Ponderosa
in Summertime Bonanza was re-runs / we’d drive to the beach and have a lot of fun
roast hot-dogs and stick ’em in buns / a green Studebaker and a setting sun
my Dad traded that Studebaker in / on a Plymouth Wagon with tall tail fins
now we’re into color TVs up to our chins / my Dad traded that Studebaker in
Studebaker Ponderosa / Studebaker Ponderosa
