It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em up, Joe
I've got a little story you ought to 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
Well, I know the routine
So put another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad
I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad
Could tell you a lot
But you've got to be true to your 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, you simply gotta listen to me
Until it's talked away
Well, that's how it goes
And Joe, I know you're getting anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
There's no one in the place except you and me
