[Verse 2]

I've been trai

ning like a Pa

vlov dog

Let my indepen

dence out to t

ake a hike

All you gotta 

do is activate

 my bell

And I'll fetch

 you anything 

you like


[Chorus]
         
Going once, go

   
ing twice
            
Every man here

        
 has a price
         
Over where? Ov

   
er there?
            
Sold to not a 

       
single lady in

 here


[Verse 3]

I've been here

 like a thousa

nd times

Dated every wo

man in the atm

osphere

I've been to e

very continent

Broken all the

 hearts in eve

ry hemisphere

And if I'm not

 the type of g

uy you like to

 circumvent

Just remember 

not to love me

 when I disapp

ear


[Verse 4]

I graduated at

 the top

I like to take

 advantage of 

the bourgeoisi

e

So if you have

 a fantasy of 

being a queen

Maybe you shou

ld blow a coup

le bucks on me


[Chorus]
         
Going once, go

    
ing twice
            
Won't these ge

       
ntlemen suffic

e?
         
Any here? Any 

   
there?
            
Any motions an

   
ywhere?
         
Going twice, g

     
oing thrice
            
Guess this mea

       
ns we'll go fo

ur times a lad

[Bridge]
             
I promise I'll

              
 be all you'll

You'll never h

ound (don't sh

op around)
             
And I'll give

Don't worry, I

[Outro]
        
So many ladies


 are wanting f

or mates
            
And the prospe

       
cts are good, 

but the date's

 never great
        
Over here, ove


r there, over 

where? Anywher

They're too bu

g the bidding 

to care
        
And he's sold
