I have-a-six-hundred down here And now ten and now twenty-five And now thirty-five another fifty Now sixty, will ya give me sixty, now? Seventy-five-seventy-five Another eighty-five dollars Another buy 'em there There was a boy in Arkansas Who wouldn't listen to his ma When she told him he should go to school He'd sneak away in the afternoon Take a little walk then pretty soon You find him at the local auction barn He stand and and listen carefully 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 And now thirty-dollar-thirty Will ya give me thirty-make it thirty Bid upon it thirty dollars Will ya give me thirty? Who'll bid a thirty dollar bid? Thirty dollar bid and now thirty-five Will ya give me thirty-five-a make it thirty-five A bid a thirty-five Who would-a bid it at a thirty-five dollar bid? As time went on he did his best And all could see he didn't jest He practiced callin' bids both night 'n day His pap would find him behind the barn Just a-workin' up an awful storm As he tried to imitate the autioneer Then his pap said, "Son we just can't stand To have a mediocre man Sellin' things at auction usin' our good name" I'll send you off to auction school Then you'll be nobody's fool You can take your place among the best Thirty-five dollar bid A dollar-forty, dollar-forty Will ya give me forty-make it forty Bid on 'em all, vote on it all As long as we bid forty Who'll-a bid the forty dollar bid? Forty-dollar-bid and now forty-five Will ya give forty-five a-make it a-forty-five A bid it at a forty-five Who would-a 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 Then the people came from miles around Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound It filled their hearts with such a happy cheer His fans bid 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 tops in all the land A-let all you give that man a hand He's the best of all the auctioneers Forty-five-dollar-bid A-nother-fifty-dollar-fifty Will ya give me fifty? Make-it-fifty-bid on it fifty dollar Will ya give me fifty? Who will make it fifty dollar bid? Fifty dollar bid-a-now fifty-five Will ya give me fifty-five? A make it a-fifty-five-a-bid-of-fifty dollars Sold that a-hog for a-fifty dollar bill Hey, well alright sir Open the gate and let 'em out And walk 'em boys Here we come-a lot number 29 in What are we gonna give for 'em? I've twenty-five to get thirty-five Another fifty to make it fifty Bid it around-to fifty-now-sixty Will ya give me sixty now? Seventy-five-a-now-eighty-five A ninety-five-and a hundred And twenty-five-a fifty-seven An-a-two-an-a-three-an-a four Now-five-now-six-now-seven Now-a-eight hundred dollar With a-buy 'em there ~ |
