The Bidding by Tally Hall

I've (1)________ sleeping in a cardboard box,
Spending (2)__________ (3)____________ at the (4)____________ shop,
And even though I (5)________ I haven't got a lot
I try to (6)________ you love until the day you drop.

I've (7)________ training like a Pavlov dog,
Sent my (8)________________________ out to take a hike.
All you got to do is activate my bell,
And I'll fetch you (9)________________ you like

Going once,
Going twice,
Every man here has a price.
Over where,
Over there,
Sold to not a (10)____________ (11)________ in here

I've been here (12)________ a thousand times,
Dated every (13)__________ in the atmosphere.
I've been to every 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 (14)________ me when I disappear

I graduated at the top,
I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie,
So if you (15)________ a fantasy of being a queen,
Maybe you (16)____________ (17)________ a couple (18)__________ on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't these 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 (20)______________ I'll be all you'll need,
Ever need,
You'll (21)__________ (22)________ to shop around.
- Don't shop around.
And I'll give you all you'll ever need,
Ever need.
Don't worry; I will (23)__________ let you down,
Let you down,
Don't worry; I will never let you down.

So many ladies,
Are (24)______________ for mates,
And the (25)________________ 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.
