The Towing Song
This is the way we tow our bus,
tow our bus,
tow our bus.
This is the way we tow our bus
when we’re selling it in the morning
and we don’t care what happens to it any more
and it’s too hard to reach underneath and hook a chain around the frame.
Tra la!
The Paint Stripping Song
This is the way we strip the house paint,
strip the house paint,
strip the house paint.
This is the way we strip the house paint,
with a wire brush on a cordless drill
for a few minutes until the battery runs down
and the horrendous purple paint goes right away
and we are very happy.
Tra la!
Holy Smokes! You’ll be at least 40 before you get that thing stripped!
RedLion, I can assure you that you are categorically correct.
I don’t suppose that purple paint that your stripping (or the yellow underneath) would be Lead paint, would it? Can you say “rolling hazmat site”?

I understand that schoolbuses are generally in service for 20 years, so this one probably retired in 2006 and the purple paint was almost certainly added in the last three years or less. I can send you the cans (oil-based enamel) if you’d like to check,
but there’s no way the purple is lead paint.
The U.S. CPSC banned lead paint for residential use in 1978. I really doubt that Bluebird was using lead paint for schoolbuses (even though they’re not residential) in 1986.
Pretty sure I’m safe on this one.
