There was a boy in Arkansas who wouldn't listen to his maWhen she told him that he should go to schoolHe'd sneak away in the afternoon, take a little walk and pretty soonYou'd find him at the local auction barnWell he'd stand and listen carefully then pretty soon he began to seeHow the auctioneer could talk so rapidlyHe said, "Oh my it's do or die I've got to learn that auction cryGotta make my mark and be an auctioneer"25 dollar 30 now 30 dollar 30 dollar 30 dollar 30 dollar give me a hollar 30 dollarwho will bid it at a 35 dollar bid?35 dollar 35 35 make it 35 and a 35 make it 35 and a 35 Who will bid it at a 35 dollar bid?As time went on he did his best and all could see he didn't jestHe practied on and then some night and dayHis pappy'd find him behind the barn just a workin up an awful stormAs he tried to imitate the auctioneerSaid 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 foolYou can take your place among the best"35 dollar 40 now 40 dollar 40 dollar 40 dollar 40 dollar give me a hollar 40 dollarWho will bid it at at a 40 dollar bid?40 dollar 45 45 will you make it 45 give me 45 and a 45Who will bid it at a 45 dollar bid?So from that morning he went to school there grew a man who played it coolHe came back home a full fledged auctioneerAnd people came from miles around just to hear him make that rhythmic soundThat filled their hearts with such a happy cheerHis fame reached out from shore to shore he had all he could do and moreHe had to buy a plane to get aroundNow he's the tops in all the land so let's all give that man a handHe's the best of all the auctioneers45 dollar 50 now 50 dollar 50 dollar50 dollar 50 dollar give me a hollar 50 dollarWho will bid it at a 50 dollar bill?50 dollar 55 55 make it 55 and a 55 make it 55 and Sold that horse for a 50 dollar bill
