Set 'Em Up, Joe

It's quater to three, there's no one in the place
Except you and me
So, set 'em up Joe
I got a little story you outta 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 got the routine, so drop 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 the road

You'd never know it, 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
Joe, I know you're getting anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind, my bending your ear
This torch that I found, must be drowned
For it soon may explode
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road
That long, lonely road
