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 pretty soon |
|
You'd find him at the local auction barn |
|
Well, he'd stand and listen carefully |
|
Then pretty soon he began to see |
|
How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly |
|
His pappy'd find him behind the barn |
|
Just a workin up an awful storm |
|
As he tried to immitate the auctioneer |
|
25 Dollar 30 now 30 dollar etc |
|
Who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid |
|
30 Dollar 35 etc |
|
Who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid |
|
Said his pappy, "son we just can't stand a havin' |
|
A mediocre man |
|
You gotta take that auction usin' our good name |
|
I'll send you off to auction school |
|
And then you'll be nobody's fool |
|
You'll be the best of all the auctioneers |
|
35 Dollar 40 dollar etc |
|
Who will bid it a a 45 dollar bid |
|
40 Dollar etc |
|
Who will bid it at a 45 dollar bid |
|
Well from that morning he went to school |
|
There grew a man who played it cool |
|
He came back home a full fledged auctioneer |
|
And people came from miles around |
|
Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound |
|
Cause he's the best of all the auctioneers |
|
Well his fame reached out from shore to shore |
|
He had all he could do and more |
|
He had to buy a plane to get around |
|
Now he's the best in all the land |
|
So let's all give that man a hand |
|
He's the best of all the auctioneers |
|
45 Dollar 50 now etc |
|
Who will bid it at a 55 dollar bid |
|
50 Dollar 50 now will you give me 55 etc |
|
Sold that horse for a 50 dollar bill |
