The Bidding by Tally Hall

I've been sleeping in a cardboard box,
Spending every dollar at the liquor shop,
And even (1)____________ I know I haven't got a lot
I try to (2)________ you love until the day you drop.

I've been training like a Pavlov dog,
Sent my independence out to (3)________ a hike.
All you got to do is activate my bell,
And I'll fetch you anything you like

Going once,
Going twice,
Every man here has a price.
Over where,
Over there,
Sold to not a single lady in here

I've been (4)________ (5)________ a thousand times,
Dated (6)__________ woman in the atmosphere.
I've (7)________ to every continent,
Broken all the hearts in every hemisphere,
And if I'm not the type of guy you like to circumvent,
Just remember not to love me when I disappear

I graduated at the top,
I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie,
So if you have a fantasy of being a queen,
Maybe you should blow a couple bucks on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't (8)__________ gentlemen suffice?
Any here,
Any there,
Any motions any where.

Going twice,
Going thrice,
Guess this means we'll go four times a lady,

I promise I'll be all you'll need,
Ever need,
You'll never have to shop around.
- Don't shop around.
And I'll give you all you'll ever need,
Ever need.
Don't worry; I will never let you down,
Let you down,
Don't worry; I will never let you down.

So many ladies,
Are hunting for mates,
And the (9)________________ are good,
But the date's (10)__________ great.
Over here,
Over there,
Over where,
Anywhere.
They're too busy,
For winning,
The bidding,
To get any sold.
