See a lot going for a song (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cheap

'going for a song' is the definition.
(old-fashioned phrase meaning 'cheap')

'see a lot' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'C' (the word for the letter, according to Chambers).
'a lot' becomes 'heap' ('heap' can be a synonym of 'lot').
'c'+'heap'='CHEAP'

(Other definitions for cheap that I've seen before include "Tawdry - inexpensive" , "bargain" , "Contemptible" , "good value" , "Base" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
