The Auctioneer (Lp Version) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]
Hey you've all regestered open the gate[00:00:02]
And let them out and walk them about[00:00:03]
Ere we come a letter number twenty nine[00:00:07]

Wouldja biddle a on thirty dollar five[00:00:25]
On a five would ya biddle on a five wouldja biddle on a thirty five[00:00:27]
Well there was a boy from arkansas who wouldn't listen to his ma[00:00:30]
When she told him that he should go to school[00:00:34]
Well he'd stay away in the afternoon[00:00:38]
Take a little walk and pretty soon[00:00:40]
You'd find him at the local auction barn[00:00:42]
Well he'd stand and listen carefully[00:00:46]
Until at last he began to see[00:00:48]
How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly[00:00:50]
Well he said oh my it's do or die[00:00:54]
I've got to learn that auction cry[00:00:56]
Gonna make my mark and be an auctioneer[00:00:58]
Twenty five dollar bid'ja now thirty dollar[00:01:02]
Thirty wudja make it thirty bidda onna thirty dollar thirty dollar[00:01:04]

Thirty five biddle on a thirty five thirty five[00:01:12]
Who's gonna bitta the thirty five dollar bill[00:01:14]
Well the time went by and he did his best[00:01:34]
And all could see he did not jest[00:01:35]
He practiced calling bids both night and day[00:01:38]
Till his pappy found him behind the barn[00:01:41]
Just working up an awful storm[00:01:43]
As he tried to imitate the auctioneer[00:01:45]
And his pop said son we just can't stand to have a mediocre man[00:01:49]
Selling things at auction using our good name[00:01:53]
Gonna send you off to auction school[00:01:57]
And then you'll be nobody's fool[00:01:59]
And you can take your place among the best[00:02:01]
Thirty five dolla bidja now forty doller[00:02:05]

On a forty five bidgel on a forty five forty five[00:02:15]
Who's gunna bidda the forty five dollar bill[00:02:17]
And from that boy that went to school[00:02:37]
There grew a man who played it cool[00:02:39]
He come back home a full fledged auctioneer[00:02:41]
And the people would come from miles around[00:02:44]
Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound[00:02:46]
That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer[00:02:48]
And his fame spread out from shore to shore[00:02:52]
He'd all that he could do and more[00:02:54]
He had to buy a plane to get around[00:02:56]
Well now he's the best in all the land[00:03:00]
Let's pause and give that man a hand[00:03:02]
Because he's the best of all the auctioneers[00:03:04]
Forty five dollar bidja now fifty dollar fifty[00:03:08]
