The Bidding by Tally Hall

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

I've (6)________ training like a Pavlov dog,
Sent my independence out to take a hike.
All you got to do is activate my bell,
And I'll (7)__________ you (8)________________ you like

Going once,
Going twice,
Every man here has a price.
Over where,
Over there,
Sold to not a single (9)________ in here

I've (10)________ (11)________ (12)________ a (13)________________ times,
Dated (14)__________ (15)__________ in the atmosphere.
I've (16)________ to (17)__________ 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 love me when I disappear

I graduated at the top,
I (18)________ to take (19)__________________ of the bourgeoisie,
So if you have a fantasy of (20)__________ a queen,
Maybe you (21)____________ blow a (22)____________ bucks on me.

Going once,
Going Twice,
Won't these gentlemen suffice?
Any here,
Any there,
Any (23)______________ any where.

Going twice,
Going thrice,
Guess this means we'll go (24)________ times a lady,

I promise I'll be all you'll need,
Ever need,
You'll never have to (25)________ around.
- Don't shop around.
And I'll give you all you'll ever need,
Ever need.
Don't worry; I will (26)__________ let you down,
Let you down,
Don't worry; I (27)________ never 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.
