The Auctioneer Lyrics

Here we go then

What are you gonna give for them

I bid twenty-five

Will you give me thirty dollars

Thirty, make it thirty

Bid of thirty, thirty-five

Now to forty, make it forty

Bid of forty...

There was a boy in Arkansas

Who wouldn't listen to his ma

When she told him

That 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 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 gotta learn that auction cry

Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer

Twenty-five dollar bid

And now thirty dollar, thirty

Will you give me thirty

Make it thirty

Bid upon it thirty dollars

Will you give me thirty

Who'll give me a thirty dollar bid

Thirty dollar bid and now thirty-five

Will you give me thirty-five

Make it thirty-five

A bid of thirty-five

Who would bid it at

A thirty-five dollar bid

As 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

He tried to imitate that autioneer

Well, the people came from miles around

Just to hear him make that happy sound

That filled their hearts

With such a happy cheer

And now he's tops in all the land

Let's pause and give that man a hand

For he's the best of all the auctioneer

Thirty-five dollar bid

And now forty dollar, forty

Will ya give me forty

Make it forty

Bid on it, forty

Will you give me forty

Who'll give me a forty dollar bid

Forty dollar bid and now forty-five

Will you give forty-five

Make it forty-five

Bid at a forty-five

Who'll bid it at

A forty-five dollar bid

Forty-five-dollar bid

And now fifty dollar, fifty

Will ya give me fifty

Make it fifty

Bid on it, fifty dollar

Will you give me fifty

Who'll give me a fifty dollar bid

Fifty dollar bid

And now fifty-five

Will you give me fifty-five

A make it fifty-five

A bid at fifty-five

Sold that hog for a fifty dollar bill

Hey, well, alright, sir

Open the gate and let 'em out

And here we go

And what are you gonna give me for 'em

What are you gonna give for them

I bid twenty-five

Will you give me thirty dollars

Thirty, make it thirty...
