Song Lyrics

It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place 'cept you and me
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 quarter 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
Just 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 I'd like to say
And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's talked away

Well, that's how it goes
And Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close
Anyway thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear

But this torch that I found
It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And another for the road
The long, it's damned long, it's so long

Harold Arlen, Johnny Mercer
