{Verse 1}
It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I've got a little story you ought to 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
{Verse 2}
I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad, I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your code
So make it onе for my baby and one more for the road
{Verse 3}
You'd nеver know it, but buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you just gotta listen to me
Until they're tucked away
{Verse 4}
Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your getting 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, long, road
