Well I went down to the Grundy
County Auction
Where I saw something
I just had to have
My mind told me
I should proceed with caution
But my heart said, "Go ahead
an' make a bid on that!"
An' I said, hey, pretty lady,
won'cha gi'me a sign
I'd give anything to make
you mine all mine
I'll do your biddin' an' be
at your beckon call
Yeah, I never seen anyone
lookin' so fine
Man, I gotta have her,
she's a one-of-a-kind
I'm goin' once, goin' twice,
I'm sold!
To the lady in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine,
she's a ten, I know
She's got ruby red lips,
blond hair, blue eyes
An' I'm about to bid
my heart good-bye!
Well, the auctioneer was
goin' about a mile a minute
He was takin' bids
an' callin' them out loud
An' I guess I was really
gettin' in it
'Cause I just shouted out
above the crowd!
An' I said, hey, pretty lady,
won'cha gi'me a sign
I'd give anything to make
you mine all mine
I'll do your biddin' an' be
at your beckon call
Yeah, I never seen anyone
lookin' so fine
Man, I gotta have her,
she's a one-of-a-kind
I'm goin' once, goin' twice,
I'm sold! To the lady in the
long black dress
Well she won my heart
it was no contest
With her ruby red lips,
blond hair, blue eyes
Well I'm about to bid
my heart good-bye!
Yeah, we found love
on the auction block
An' I hauled her heart away
Now we still love to laugh about
The way we met that day
When I said, hey, pretty lady
won'cha gi'me a sign
I'd give anything
to make you mine all mine
I'll do your biddin'
an' be at your beckon call
Yeah, I never seen anyone
lookin' so fine
Man, I gotta have her,
she's a one-of-a-kind
I'm goin' once, goin' twice,
I'm sold! To the lady
in the second row
She's an eight, she's a nine,
she's a ten, I know
She's got ruby red lips,
blond hair blue eyes
An' I'm about to bid
my heart good-bye!
