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 oughta know
We're drinkin', my friend
to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road

Got the routine
so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feelin' so bad
wish you'd make the music pretty and sad
Could tell you a lot
but you've got 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 got a lot of things to say
and when I'm gloomy
you simply gotta listen to me
till it's all talked away

Well that's how it goes
and Joe, I know your gettin' pretty anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bendin' 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
