The Auctioneer

The Auctioneer - The Hit Crew There was a boy in arkansas Who wouldn't listen to his ma When she told hi I'm he should go to school He'd sneak away in the afternoon Take a little walk then pretty soon You'd find him at the local auction barn He'd stand and listen carefully Then pretty soon he began to see How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly He said oh my it's do or die I've got to learn that auction cry Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer 25 dollar bid it now 30 dollar 30 Will you gimmie 30 make it 30 Bid it on a 30 dollar will you gimmie 30 Who'll bid a 30 dollar bid 30 dollar bid it now 35 will you gimmie 35 To make it 35 to bid at 35 Who would a bid it at a 35 dollar bid Time went on he did his best And all could see he didn't jest He practiced calling bids both night and day His pap would find him behind the barn Just working up an awful storm As he tried to imitate the auctioneer Then his pap said son we just can't stand To have a mediocre man Sellin' things at auction using our good name I'll send you off to auction school Then you'll be nobody's fool You can take your place among the best 35 dollar bid it now a 40 dollar 40 Will you gimmie 40 make it 40 Bidin' it on a 40 dollar will you gimmie 40 Who'll bid a 40 dollar bid 40 dollar bid it now 45 will you gimmie 45 To make it a 45 to bid it a 45 Who would a bid it at a 45 dollar bid Now from that boy who went to school There grew a man who played it cool He came back home a full fledged auctioneer Then the people came from miles around Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer His fame spread out from shore to shore He had all he could do and more Had to buy a plane to get around Now he's the tops in all the land Come on let's pause and give that man a hand He's the best of all the auctioneers 45 dollar bid it now a 50 dollar 50 Will you gimmie 50 make it 50 Bidin' it on a 50 dollar will you gimmie 50 Who'll bid a 50 dollar bid 50 dollar bid it now 55 will you gimmie 55 To make it a 55 to bid at 55 Who'll bid a 55 dollar bid He's the best of a bid auctioneers
