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
