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"
