The Bidding by Tally Hall

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

I've (4)________ training like a Pavlov dog,
Sent my independence out to (5)________ a hike.
All you got to do is activate my bell,
And I'll fetch you (6)________________ you like

Going once,
Going twice,
Every man (7)________ has a price.
Over where,
Over there,
Sold to not a single lady in here

I've been here like a thousand times,
Dated every woman in the atmosphere.
I've been to every continent,
Broken all the (8)____________ in (9)__________ hemisphere,
And if I'm not the (10)________ of guy you (11)________ to circumvent,
Just remember not to love me when I disappear

I (12)__________________ at the top,
I like to (13)________ advantage of the bourgeoisie,
So if you (14)________ a fantasy of (15)__________ a queen,
Maybe you should blow a (16)____________ bucks on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't these (17)__________________ suffice?
Any here,
Any there,
Any (18)______________ any where.

Going twice,
Going thrice,
Guess this means we'll go (19)________ (20)__________ a lady,

I (21)______________ I'll be all you'll need,
Ever need,
You'll never have to shop around.
- Don't shop around.
And I'll (22)________ you all you'll (23)________ need,
Ever need.
Don't worry; I will never let you down,
Let you down,
Don't worry; I will (24)__________ 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.
