I powered up my ol’ computer system,
And I went to bid on an online auction.
I figured I could easily win some item,
I didn’t think that there’d be another person
Bidding way too much,
Way too much
For that item.

I thought I had that item by its collar,
But other folks just piled on the dollars.
For a few days, nobody took no action,
Then without a warning, some nerds swarmed to that auction,
Bidding way too much,
Way too much
For that item.

When others struck, the bid war wasn’t pretty,
And you thought I was gonna say a swear word.*
To win something, don’t go at it too early,
Or you’ll be up against someone named Shirley,
Bidding way too much,
Way too much
For that item.

You see I’m smart, but I’m also persistent,
Despite all this, I also have my limits.
Sometimes I find what seems like a good bargain,
But soon enough, some other folks will barge in,
Bidding way too much,
Way too much
For that item!!!!!!!!!

(Bidding way too much for that item!) [repeat several times, fade out]
