Lyrics
MAMMA'S DEEP DISH ALL-AMERICAN APPLE PIE
© Copyright 2005 Dave Kaufman, all rights reserved
Verse 1:
Daddy was an auctioneer and Momma was an auctioneer's wife
Sold folks things all over Kane county
And in the sale-barn on Saturday night
People came from all around just to hear Daddy cry
And enjoy of piece of MAMMA'S DEEP DISH ALL-AMERICAN APPLE PIE
Chorus 1:
Oh, a hundred dollar bid-a-now will ya gimme two?
God hates a coward sir,... well any bid'll do
Two hundred bid-a-now would ya give three
Ya talked on it long enough now keep your eyes on me.
Verse 2:
When you live in a small small town,
There ain't very much to do
Daddy didn't care if ya didn't buy a thing
When his bid calling fury was through
"I just hope ya enjoyed yasef
Next time you're sure to make a buy
Now enjoy a piece of MAMMA'S DEEP DISH ALL-AMERICAN APPLE PIE
Chorus 2:
Oh, three hundred bid-a-now would ya give four?
It's only money would ya pay a little more?
Four hundred bid-a-now would ya gimme five
Buyin' at my auction makes you feel so much alive.
(Instrumental Break)
Bridge:
Buy a dozen jeans and these new window screens
and some quilts and fishin' gear
Buy an old mink coat and a great bass boat
Enough nails to last you twenty years
Chorus 3:
Oh, seven hundred bid-a-now would ya gimme half
Wait till ya get it home it's sure to get a laugh
Seven-fifty bid-a-now would ya give eight?
Daddy was a winner cause he always played it straight.
