The Bidding by Tally Hall

I've (1)________ sleeping in a cardboard box,
Spending every dollar at the liquor shop,
And even though I (2)________ I haven't got a lot
I try to give you love (3)__________ the day you drop.

I've been training like a Pavlov dog,
Sent my independence out to (4)________ a hike.
All you got to do is (5)________________ my bell,
And I'll (6)__________ you anything you like

Going once,
Going twice,
Every man here has a price.
Over where,
Over there,
Sold to not a single (7)________ in here

I've been (8)________ like a (9)________________ times,
Dated every woman in the atmosphere.
I've (10)________ to (11)__________ continent,
Broken all the hearts in (12)__________ hemisphere,
And if I'm not the type of guy you (13)________ to circumvent,
Just (14)________________ not to (15)________ me when I disappear

I graduated at the top,
I like to take (16)__________________ of the bourgeoisie,
So if you have a fantasy of (17)__________ a queen,
Maybe you should (18)________ a (19)____________ bucks on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't (20)__________ (21)__________________ suffice?
Any here,
Any there,
Any motions any where.

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

I (22)______________ I'll be all you'll need,
Ever need,
You'll never have to (23)________ around.
- Don't shop around.
And I'll give you all you'll ever need,
Ever need.
Don't worry; I (24)________ never let you down,
Let you down,
Don't worry; I will never let you down.

So (25)________ ladies,
Are hunting for mates,
And the prospect are good,
But the date's (26)__________ great.
Over here,
Over there,
Over where,
Anywhere.
They're too busy,
For winning,
The bidding,
To get any sold.
