Advertisement In The Voice

[Verse 1]
I teach a class 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

[Chorus]
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again

[Verse 3]
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 your Santa Claus
But at three o'clock I start to get these blues

[Chorus]
I read your advertisement in the Voice
Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days
You made no stipulations, and only signed it "Friend"
Oh it's three o'clock, and I'm alone again
