歌詞

Hey well all right sir here we go there And what are ya' gonna give for 'em I have a six hundred dollar down here Now ten and now twenty-five and now thirty-five And now there fifty now sixty Will ya give me sixty now seventy-five Seventy-five another eighty-five dollars Oughta buy 'em there There was a boy in Arkansas Who wouldn't listen to his ma When she told him that he should go to school He'd sneak away in the afternoon Take a little walk and then pretty soon You'd find him at the local auction barn Well he'd stand and listen carefully And then pretty soon he began to see How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly He said oh my it's do or die I've got to learn that auction cry Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer Twenty-five dollar bid it now thirty dollar thirty Will you gimmie thirty make it thirty Bid it on a thirty dollar will you gimmie thirty dollar bid Thirty dollar bid it now thirty-five Will you gimmie thirty-five To make it thirty-five to bid it a thirty-five Who woulda bid it at a thirty-five dollar bid Well as time went on he did his best And all could see he didn't jest He practiced calling bids both night and day His pop would find him behind the barn Just a working up an awful storm As he tried to imitate the auctioneer His dad said son we just can't Stand to have a mediocre man Selling things at action using our name I'll send you off to auction school And then you'll be nobody's fool You can take your place among the best Thirty-five dollar bid it now forty dollar forty Will you gimmie forty make it forty Bid it on a forty dollar will you gimmie forty dollar bid Forty dollar bid it now forty-five Will you gimmie forty-five To make it forty-five to bid it a forty-five Who woulda bid it at a forty-five dollar bid So from that boy who went to school There grew a man who played it cool He came back home a full fledged auctioneer And the people came from miles around Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound That fill their hearts with such a happy cheer His fame spread out from shore to shore He had all he could do and more Had to buy a plane to get around Now he's the best in all the land Let's pause and give that man a hand He's the best of all the auctioneers Forty-five dollar bid it now fifty dollar fifty Will you gimmie fifty make it fifty Bid it on a fifty dollar will you gimmie fifty dollar bid Fifty dollar bid it now fifty-five Will you gimmie fifty-five To make it fifty-five to bid it a fifty-five Sold that hog for a fifty dollar bill Hey well all right sir open the gate And let 'em out and walk 'em boys Here we come with lot number 29 in What'd ya gonna give for 'em I have a twenty-five I oughta get thirty-five And now a fifty make it fifty bid it along at fifty Now sixty will ya give me sixty now seventy-five And now eight-five and now nine-five A hundred and now twenty-five And now it's at seventy-five And a two and a three and a four And a five and a six now seven Now eight hundred dollars And a buy 'em there
