Auctioneer Lyrics - Singles - Lynn Anderson

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 listened 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 

A 15 dollar bid and now twenty now 

Will you gimme twenty make it now twenty bi di di bom a twenty now 

Will you gimme twenty who da ba bi bi da twenty dollar bid 

I got twenty dollar bid and now twenty five now 

Will you gimme twenty five make it now twenty five bi di di bom a twenty five now 

Will you gimme twenty five who da ba bi bi da twenty 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 working up an awful storm 

As he tried to imitate an auctioneer 

His dad said son we just can't stand to have a mediocre man 

Sellin' things at action using our name 

We'll send you off to auction school and then you'll be nobody's fool 

You can take your place among the best 

A twenty five dollar bid and now thirty now 

Will you gimme thirty make it now thirty bi di di bom a thirty now 

Will you gimme thirty who da ba bi bi da thirty dollar bid 

A thirty dollar bid and now thirty five now 

Will you gimme thirty five make it now thirty five bi di di bom a thirty five now 

Will you gimme thirty five who da ba bi bi da thirty 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 the people came from miles around just to hear him make that rhytmic sound 

That fill their hearts with such a happy cheer 

His fame spread out from shore to shore but 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 to give that man a hand 

He's the best of naughty auctioneers 

I got thirty five dollar bid and now forty dollar forty 

Will you gimme forty make it forty bi di di bom a forty dollar 

Will you gimme forty who da ba bi bi da forty dollar bid 

I got forty dollar bid and now forty five dollar forty five 

Will you gimme forty five make it forty five bi di di bom a forty five dollar 

Sold it out now for forty five dollar bid 

Hey well all right sir 

Forty fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty fifty 

I sold that hog for for a fifty bid
