Lyrics
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 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 got the routine So drop another nickel in the machine I'm feeling so bad Wish you'd make the music pretty and sad

Could tell you a lot But you gotta 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've got a lot of things to say And when I'm gloomy, you simply got to listen to me Till its all talked away

Well, that's how it goes And Joe I know youre getting, pretty anxious to close So thanks for the cheer I hope you didnt mind My bending 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
