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 I think you ought to know
We're drinking my friend to the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine
Put another nickle in that there machine
I'm feeling so bad, so make the music easy and sad
I 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 would never know it but buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I want to say
And if I'm gloomy please listen to me
Til it's all talked away

Well, that's how it goes
And Joe I know your gettin' anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you don't mind my bending your ear
But this torch that I've found has got to be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

Man it's a long, long road
