The Bidding by Tally Hall

I've been (1)________________ 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 (3)________ you (4)________ until the day you drop.

I've (5)________ training (6)________ a (7)____________ dog,
Sent my independence out to (8)________ a hike.
All you got to do is activate my bell,
And I'll (9)__________ 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 here (10)________ a thousand times,
Dated every (11)__________ in the atmosphere.
I've (12)________ to every continent,
Broken all the hearts in every hemisphere,
And if I'm not the type of guy you like to circumvent,
Just (13)________________ not to (14)________ me (15)________ I disappear

I graduated at the top,
I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie,
So if you (16)________ a (17)______________ of being a queen,
Maybe you (18)____________ blow a (19)____________ bucks on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't these gentlemen suffice?
Any here,
Any there,
Any motions any where.

Going twice,
Going thrice,
Guess (20)________ means we'll go (21)________ 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 (22)________ (23)__________ let you down,
Let you down,
Don't worry; I (24)________ never let you down.

So many ladies,
Are (25)______________ for mates,
And the prospect are good,
But the date's never great.
Over here,
Over there,
Over where,
Anywhere.
They're too busy,
For winning,
The bidding,
To get any sold.
