Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
We're drinkin', my friend
To the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Well, that's how it goes and Joe, I know you're gettin'
Pretty anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind
My bendin' your ear
[Verse 7]
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
