The Bidding by Tally Hall

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

I've been (4)________________ 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 anything you like

Going once,
Going twice,
Every man (6)________ 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 (7)__________ continent,
Broken all the (8)____________ in every hemisphere,
And if I'm not the type of guy you like to circumvent,
Just remember not to love me when I disappear

I graduated at the top,
I like to take advantage of the bourgeoisie,
So if you have a (9)______________ of being a queen,
Maybe you (10)____________ (11)________ a (12)____________ (13)__________ on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't (14)__________ (15)__________________ suffice?
Any here,
Any there,
Any (16)______________ any where.

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

I (18)______________ I'll be all you'll need,
Ever need,
You'll never (19)________ to shop around.
- Don't shop around.
And I'll give 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 (24)______________ 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.
