Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's quarter to three There's no one in the place, 'cept you and me So set 'em up, Joe I got a little story I think you should know [Chorus] We're drinkin' my friend To the end of a brief episode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road [Verse 2] I got the routine Put another nickel in the machine Feelin' so bad Can't you make the music easy and sad? [Chorus] I could tell you a lot But you've gotta be true to your code Just make it one for my baby And one more for the road [Bridge] You'd never know it But buddy, I'm a kind of poet And I got a lot of things I'd like to say And when I'm gloomy Won't you listen to me 'Til it's talked away? [Verse 3] Well, that's how it goes And, Joe, I know you're gettin' anxious to close And thanks for the cheer I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear [Chorus] But this torch that I've found It's gotta be drowned or it soon might explode So make it one for my baby And one more for the road [Outro] The long It's so long The long Very long
