It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
|
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story you oughta know
|
We're drinkin', my friend, to the end of a brief episode
|
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
|
I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine
|
I'm feelin' so bad, wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
|
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code
|
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
|
You'd never know it but buddy, I'm a kind of poet
|
And I got a lot of things to say
|
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me
|
Till it's all talked away
|
Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your gettin' pretty anxious to close
|
So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear
|
This torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode
|
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road
|
That long, long road
|
