It's quarter to 3 |
|
There's no one in the place except you and me |
|
So set 'em up, Joe |
|
I got a little story you outta 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 dreamy and sad |
|
Could tell you a lot |
|
But it's not in this lady's code |
|
Make it one for my baby |
|
And one more for the road |
|
You may not know it, but buddy I'm a kind of poet |
|
And I've got a lot of things to say |
|
And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me |
|
Until it's talked away |
|
Well, that's how it goes |
|
And Joe, I know you're getting anxious to close |
|
So, thanks for the cheer |
|
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear |
|
This torch that I found must be drowned |
|
Or it soon might explode |
|
Make it one for my baby |
|
And one more for the road |
|
That long, long road |
