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! On 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! On 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! On the lady in the second row
She´s an eight, she´s a nine, she´s a ten, I know
Shes´s got ruby red lips, blond hair blue eyes
An´ I´m about to bid my heart good-bye!
Where I saw something I just had to have
