The Auctioneer - Leroy Van Dyke Lyrics




Hey, well alright sir,

here we go there and what are we gonna get for em.

Ima twenty-five, and a get thirty now five,

who'll a bid upon another forty dollars

over make it a forty now five....



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 listen carefully

and 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 and now Thirty dollar thirty

will ya give me thirty, make it thirty

bid it upon a thirty dollar

will ya give me thirty,

who'll bid a thirty dollar bid.



Thirty dollar bid and now Thirty-five

will ya give me thirty-five

make it a thirty-five, a bid of thirty five

who will 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 a working up an aweful form

as he tried to immitate the auctioneer.



Then his Pap said, Son we just can't stand

to have a mediocre man selling things at auction

using our good name."



"I'll send you off to auction school.

Then you'll be no body's fool.

You can take your place among the best."



Thirty-five dollar bid and now Forty dollar forty

will ya give me forty, make it forty

bid it upon a forty dollar

will ya give me forty,

who'll bid a forty dollar bid.



Forty dollar bid and now Forty-five

will ya give me forty-five

make it a forty-five, a bid of forty-five

who will bid it at a forty-five dollar bid?



So from that boy who went to school

there grew a man who played it cool

and came back home a full fledged auctioneer.



And the people came from miles around

just to hear him make that friendly sound

that filled 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 tops in all the land.

Lets pause and give that man a hand.

He's the best of all the auctioneers.



Forty-five dollar bid and now fifty dollar fifty

will ya give me fifty, make it fifty

bid it upon a fifty dollar

will ya give me fifty,

who'll bid a fifty dollar bill.



Fifty dollar bid and now fifty-five

will ya give me fifty-five

make it a fifty-five, a bid of fifty-five

Sold that hog for a fifty dollar bill.
