The Bidding by Tally Hall

I've (1)________ sleeping in a cardboard box,
Spending every (2)____________ at the liquor shop,
And (3)________ though I know I haven't got a lot
I try to give you (4)________ until the day you drop.

I've (5)________ training (6)________ a Pavlov dog,
Sent my independence out to take a hike.
All you got to do is (7)________________ my bell,
And I'll (8)__________ 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 (9)________ here like a thousand times,
Dated every woman in the atmosphere.
I've been to (10)__________ continent,
Broken all the (11)____________ in (12)__________ hemisphere,
And if I'm not the (13)________ of guy you like 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 being a queen,
Maybe you should blow a (17)____________ bucks on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't (18)__________ gentlemen suffice?
Any here,
Any there,
Any motions any where.

Going twice,
Going thrice,
Guess (19)________ means we'll go four times a lady,

I promise I'll be all you'll need,
Ever need,
You'll never (20)________ to shop around.
- Don't shop around.
And I'll give you all you'll (21)________ need,
Ever need.
Don't worry; I will never let you down,
Let you down,
Don't worry; I will (22)__________ let you down.

So many 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.
