When I was a child about six this came out and my uncle was enamored of it. He set to imitating it and was he was finished, said, I believe I have my new employment. He became an auctioneer and was well thought of in the community. He was sure fun to listen to.

My Dad had been an auctioneer for almost 20 years when I was born, so I literally grew up *IN* the business. When he opened his big auction house in SE Ohio the year before this video was filmed, one of the draws was having the oldest and youngest auctioneers in Ohio that first night. His partner, George, who was 85, and me at the tender age of 5. Dad's been gone for almost 40 years now but thanks to this song, I can always hear him calling for bids again.

Now that was an auction.

At about the same time, my Dad was in auctioneer school, and I remember him doing the tongue twisters that were a part of learning how to be an auctioneer. The one I remember the most is 'Rubber Baby Bumper'. God, I love this song! It is on my mp3 player, and I listen to it regularly here on youtube, as well. Dad cannot do his auction cries anymore due to cognitive issues. I miss that so much. I know that no one will see this, but I still felt the need to try to let Leroy know how much this song means to me. 🙂

I have a cousin ten years older than me. As an only child, I relished whatever time he'd spend with me. I was disheartened when he was supposed to be visiting me one day - I guess I was somewhere around 6, 7, or maybe 8 - and he decided he wanted to walk to his girlfriend's house (ditching me). BUT, as a bribe, he gave me his copy of this song on a 45 record. I still have it someplace, although like you, just about played the grooves off it. Yes, true talent, and an amazing song. Heard Mr. Van Dyke in another KZbin video point out that the song was actually a true story (about his cousin?).

He says it faster than the actual lyrics - it is the voice and inflections and yodel thing --------------------------------------------------------------- Hey, well, alright sir Here we go there and what are ya' gonna give for 'em I have a 600 dollar down here now ten and now 25 and Now 35 and now there 50 now 60 will ya' give me 60 Now 75, 75 another 85 dollars and buy 'em there There was a boy in Arkansas Who wouldn't listen to his ma When she told him he should go to school He'd sneak away in the afternoon Take a little walk then pretty soon You'd find him at the local auction barn He'd stand and listen carefully Then pretty soon he began to see How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly He said, "Oh my, it's do or die I've got to learn that auction cry Gotta make my mark and be an auctioneer" 25 dollar bid it now, 30 dollar 30 Will you gimmie 30 make it 30 Bid it on a 30 dollar will you gimmie 30 Who'll bid a 30 dollar bid? 30 dollar bid it now, 35, will you gimmie 35 To make it 35 to bid at 35 Who would a-bid it at a 35 dollar bid? As time went on, he did his best And all could see he didn't jest He practiced calling bids both night and day His pap would find him behind the barn Just working up an awful storm As he tried to imitate the auctioneer Then his pap said, "Son, we just can't stand To have a mediocre man Sellin' things at auction using our good name I'll send you off to auction school Then you'll be nobody's fool You can take your place among the best" 35 dollar bid it now a 40 dollar 40 Will you gimmie 40 make it 40 Bidin' it on a 40 dollar will you gimmie 40 Who'll bid a 40 dollar bid? 40 dollar bid it now, 45, will you gimmie 45 To make it a 45 to bid it a 45 Who would a-bid it at a 45 dollar bid? So from that boy who went to school There grew a man who played it cool He came back home a full-fledged auctioneer Then the people came from miles around Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer His fame spread out from shore to shore He had all he could do and more Had to buy a plane to get around Now he's the tops in all the land And let's pause and give that man a hand He's the best of all the auctioneers 45 dollar bid it now a 50 dollar 50 Will you gimmie 50 make it 50 Bidin' it on a 50 dollar will you gimmie 50 Who'll bid a 50 dollar bid? 50 dollar bid it now, 55, will you gimmie 55 To make it a 55 to bid at 55 Sold that hog for a 50 dollar bill Hey, well, alright sir Open the gate and let 'em out and walk 'em boys Here we come a lot number 29 in What are you gonna give for 'em?
