It's quarter to three |
|
There's no one in the place 'cept you and me |
|
So set 'em up Joe |
|
I got a little story, I think you ought to know |
|
We're drinking my friend |
|
To the end of a brief episode |
|
So make it one for my baby |
|
And one more for the road |
|
I know the routine |
|
Put another nickel in that, there machine |
|
I'm feeling so bad |
|
Won't you make the music easy and sad? |
|
I could tell you a lot |
|
But you 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 I wanna say |
|
And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me |
|
Till it's all, all talked away |
|
Well, that's how it goes |
|
And Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close |
|
So thanks for the cheer |
|
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear |
|
But this torch that I found |
|
It's gotta be drowned or it soon might explode |
|
So make it one for my baby |
|
And one more for the road |
|
That long, that long, man it's long |
|
It's a long, long, long road |
