The Lyrics
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]
[Summary of spoken interlude]:
Someone spots a '73 Chevy Impala kit on an auction site for a low price of $17, makes a bid of $20, only to find out later that he was beaten by someone with a bid of $59.43. He gets so angry that he goes on a crime spree, but is caught by the police & later sentenced to life in prison**
They captured me and sent me up the river,
Each day I sweat and each night I always shiver.
I could break out, but that’s a risky solution,
So I’ll just wait while others go sans retribution,
Bidding way too much,
Way too much
For some items.
Now heed my words, and listen to me clearly,
Do not take them for granted, you should always hold them dearly.
If you are in a sim’lar situation,
Don’t blow your stack because some other person’s
Bidding way too much,
Way too much
For an item.
[air guitar]:
Ba da da da, da da, dum!
Ba da da, da da, da dum!
Ba da da da,
Da da da dum!
Ba da da da, da da, dum!
Ba da da, da da, da dum!
Ba da da da,
Da da da dum!
Ba da da da, da da, dum!
Ba da da, da da, da dum!
Ba da da da,
Da da da dum!
