Sent my (8)________________________ out to (9)________ a hike.
All you got to do is activate my bell,
And I'll (10)__________ you anything you like

Going once,
Going twice,

Sold to not a (11)____________ (12)________ in here

I've been here like a thousand times,
Dated every woman in the atmosphere.

To get any sold.
