Hey well all right sir here we go there
And what are ya' gonna give for 'em
I have a six hundred dollar down here
Now ten and now twenty-five and now thirty-five
And now there fifty now sixty
Will ya give me sixty now seventy-five
Seventy-five another eighty-five dollars
Oughta buy 'em there
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 and then pretty soon
You'd find him at the local auction barn
Well he'd stand and listen carefully
And 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
Twenty-five dollar bid it now thirty dollar thirty
Will you gimmie thirty make it thirty
Bid it on a thirty dollar will you gimmie thirty dollar bid
Thirty dollar bid it now thirty-five
Will you gimmie thirty-five
To make it thirty-five to bid it a thirty-five
Who woulda bid it at a thirty-five dollar bid
Well 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 pop would find him behind the barn
Just a working up an awful storm
As he tried to imitate the auctioneer
His dad said son we just can't
Stand to have a mediocre man
Selling things at action using our name
I'll send you off to auction school
And then you'll be nobody's fool
You can take your place among the best
Thirty-five dollar bid it now forty dollar forty
Will you gimmie forty make it forty
Bid it on a forty dollar will you gimmie forty dollar bid
Forty dollar bid it now forty-five
Will you gimmie forty-five
To make it forty-five to bid it a forty-five
Who woulda bid it at a forty-five dollar bid
So from that boy who went to school
There grew a man who played it cool
He came back home a full fledged auctioneer
And the people came from miles around
Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound
That fill 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 best in all the land
Let's pause and give that man a hand
He's the best of all the auctioneers
Forty-five dollar bid it now fifty dollar fifty
Will you gimmie fifty make it fifty
Bid it on a fifty dollar will you gimmie fifty dollar bid
Fifty dollar bid it now fifty-five
Will you gimmie fifty-five
To make it fifty-five to bid it a fifty-five
Sold that hog for a fifty dollar bill
Hey well all right sir open the gate
And let 'em out and walk 'em boys
Here we come with lot number 29 in
What'd ya gonna give for 'em
I have a twenty-five I oughta get thirty-five
And now a fifty make it fifty bid it along at fifty
Now sixty will ya give me sixty now seventy-five
And now eight-five and now nine-five
A hundred and now twenty-five
And now it's at seventy-five
And a two and a three and a four
And a five and a six now seven
Now eight hundred dollars
And a buy 'em there
