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
I think you should 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
I know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it's not
In a gentleman's code
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've got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away
That's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin'
Pretty anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
This torch that I found, It must be drowned
Or it's soon it might explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Make it one two three more
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Make it one more
