The eBay Song

Ranked #5,619 in Internet, #283,778 overall

" I got it on e-ee-Bay!"

Kind of an anthem for us eBayers! I'll actually sing it shamelessly (to the great embarrassment of my children)!

I'm not normally a fan of Weird Al Yankovic, but this tells is exactly like it is... on e-ee-Bay!

The lyrics

The "eBay song"

A used ... pink bathrobe
A rare ... mint snowglobe
A Smurf ... TV tray
I bought on eBay

My house ... is filled with
This crap
Shows up in... bubble wrap
'Most every day
What I bought on eBay

Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupee)
They had it on eBay

I'll buy ... your knick-knack
Just check ... my feedback
"A++!" they all say
They love me on eBay

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
(From some guy) I've never met in Norway
Found him on eBay

I am the type who is liable to snipe you
With two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what ever'll please
As long as I've got the dough

I'll buy ... your tchotchkes
Sell me ... your watch, please
I'll buy (I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy ...)
I'm highest bidder now

(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)
(From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazzard ashtray)
(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazzard ashtray)
Oh yeah ... (I bought it on eBay)

Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
Wanna buy (a case off vintage tube socks)
Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
(Found it on eBay)

Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcett poster)
(Pez dispensers and a toaster)
(Don't know why ... the kind of stuff you'd throw away)
(I'll buy on eBay)

What I bought on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y

Buy it, download it, sing along with it now!

    Would you believe, just last week I was looking at an eBay auction for a crochet afghan that had this song playing in the background. Very appropriate. And, hey, I'm from Cleveland, Ohio, so I have a strong appreciate for Weird Al !

    I love the way you pull in auctions based on the lyrics. A sales/content ratio this high would normally only get 4*s from me (at most), but in context this WORKS. 5*s!

    I'm featuring this on my novelty songs lyrics lens (still in progress.) You did a great job incorporating the eBay auctions, and I'm giving you a Squid Angel Blessing!
