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 I think you should know
We're drinking my friend, to the end Of a brief episode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road
I know the routine, put another nickel In the machine I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not In a gentleman's code 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 I'd like to say And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me Till it's talked away
Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin' Anxious to close 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's gonna explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road
