[Verse 1]
Well, it's quarter to three
There's no one in the place except you and me
Set 'em up Joe
I've got a little story that you ought to know
We're drinking, my friend
To the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby, one more for the road

[Verse 2]
I've got the routine
Drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad
I wish you'd make the music dreamy 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, one more for the road

[Bridge]
Now, you'd never know it
Buddy, I'm a poet
And I've got a lot of things to say
When I'm gloomy, you gotta listen to me
Before they're all talked away

[Verse 3]
Well, that's how it goes
Joe, I know you're getting anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
This torch that I found
Must be drowned or it soon might explode
So, make it one for my baby, one more for the road
[Outro]
That long, long
That long, long
Long road
