itâ??s quarter to three
thereâ??s no one in the place, just you and me
so set â??em up Joe
i got a little story i think you should know
weâ??re drinking, my friend
to the end of a brief episode
make it one for my baby
and one more for the road
i got the routine
put another nickel in the machine
iâ??m feeling so bad
canâ??t you make the music easy and sad
i could tell you a lot
but youâ??ve gotta be true to your code
make it one for my baby
and one more for the road
youâ??d never know it
but buddy, iâ??m a kind of poet
and i got a lot of things to say
and when iâ??m gloomy
wonâ??t you listen to me
until itâ??s talked away
well thatâ??s how it goes
and Joe i know youâ??re getting anxious to close
so thanks for the cheer
i hope you didnâ??t mind my bending your ear
but this torch that iâ??ve found
itâ??s gotta be drowned or it soon will explode
make it one for my baby
and one more for the road
