Lido missed the boat that day he left the shack But that was all he missed And he ain't comin' back At a tombstone bar, in a juke joint car he made a stop Just long enough to grab a handle off the top Next stop Chi town, Lido put the money down, let 'em roll He said one more job ought to get it One last shot 'fore we quit it One for the road Lido Whoah oh oh oh He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's waitin' for the go, Lido Whoah oh oh oh oh oh He said one more job ought to get it One last shot 'fore we quit it One more for the road Lido will be runnin', havin' great big funnin' till he got the note Sayin' toe the line or blow it and that was all she wrote He'll be makin' like a bee line, headin' for the border line, goin' for broke Sayin' one more hit ought to do it This joint ain't nothin' to it One more for the road Lido Whoah oh oh oh He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's waitin' for the go, Lido Whoah oh oh oh oh oh One more job ought to get it One last shot then we quit it One more for the road Lido Woah oh oh oh He's for the money, he's for the show Lido's waitin' for the go, Lido Woah oh oh oh oh oh One more job ought to get it
