I teach a cla** of forty principles of mathematics
In a fine Northeastern school
I've read the great philosophies of Plato, Christ and Socrates
And I live by most their rules
But at three o'clock I start to get the blues
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pa** the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again
I love to listen to the melodies of Bach and Beethoven
And I think Bowie's a gas.
In '68 I worked for Gene and helped bring down the big machine
And I prayed that it would last
But at three o'clock I start to get the blues
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pa** the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again
I have a nine room house completely furnished in the best of taste
And I drive a brand new Porsche
I have a Quadraphonic system with complete access to tapes
And I could be a Santa Claus
But at three o'clock I start to get these blues
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pa** the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again
