The Bidding by Tally Hall

I've been sleeping in a cardboard box,
Spending every (1)____________ at the liquor 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 (3)________________ like a Pavlov dog,
Sent my (4)________________________ out to (5)________ a hike.
All you got to do is activate my bell,
And I'll fetch 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 (6)________ here like a thousand times,
Dated every (7)__________ in the atmosphere.
I've (8)________ to (9)__________ continent,
Broken all the hearts in every hemisphere,
And if I'm not the type of guy you like to circumvent,
Just remember not to (10)________ me (11)________ I disappear

I graduated at the top,
I (12)________ to (13)________ advantage of the bourgeoisie,
So if you (14)________ a (15)______________ of being a queen,
Maybe you (16)____________ (17)________ a couple 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 this means we'll go (19)________ times a lady,

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

So (22)________ 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.
