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.
