The Bidding by Tally Hall

I've been sleeping in a cardboard box,
Spending every dollar at the (1)____________ shop,
And (2)________ though I know I haven't got a lot
I try to give 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 (4)__________ you (5)________________ you like

Going once,
Going twice,
Every man here has a price.
Over where,
Over there,
Sold to not a single (6)________ in here

I've been (7)________ like a thousand times,
Dated every woman in the atmosphere.
I've been to every continent,
Broken all the hearts in (8)__________ hemisphere,
And if I'm not the type of guy you (9)________ to circumvent,
Just remember not to love me (10)________ I disappear

I (11)__________________ at the top,
I like to (12)________ advantage of the bourgeoisie,
So if you (13)________ a (14)______________ of being a queen,
Maybe you should (15)________ a couple bucks on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't these gentlemen suffice?
Any here,
Any there,

Going twice,
Going thrice,
Guess this means we'll go four (17)__________ a lady,

I promise I'll be all you'll need,
Ever need,
You'll never have to (18)________ around.

And I'll (19)________ you all you'll ever need,
Ever need.
Don't worry; I (20)________ (21)__________ let you down,
Let you down,
Don't worry; I will (22)__________ let you down.

So (23)________ ladies,
Are hunting 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.
