What am I bid for these two eyes that gazed upon her
As a queen reighning on the throne
Once they were happy eyes now they're sad eyes goin' once goin' twice almost gone
What am I bid for these two lips that kissed her lips
The sweetest kiss these lips have ever known
It's been quite a while since they wore a smile goin' once goin' twice almost gone
What am I bid for these two arms that once held her
And knew the thrill of her charms for so long
Please make me some kind of an offer before all of the value is gone
What will you give for what you see before you this empty shell's standing alone
Here's the last chance before the bidding is over goin' once goin' twice goin' gone
