I teach a class of phony principles of mathematics

In a fine Northeastern school.

I’ve read the great philosophies of Plato, Christ and Socrates

And I live by most their rules,

But at 3 o’clock I start to get the blues

I read your advertisement in the Voice

Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days

You made no stipulations, and only signed it «Friend»

Oh it’s 3 o’clock, and I’m alone again

I love to listen to the melodies of Bach and Beethoven

And I think Bowie’s a gas.

In '68 I worked for Gene and helped bring down the big machine

And I prayed that it would last

But at 3 o’clock I start to get the blues

I read your advertisement in the Voice

Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days

You made no stipulations, and only signed it «Friend»

Oh it’s 3 o’clock, and I’m alone again

I have a 9 room house completly furnished in the best of taste

And I drive a brand new Porche

I have a Quadraphonic system with complete access to tapes

And I could be your Santa Claus

But at 3 o’clock I start to get the blues

I read your advertisement in the Voice

Seeking some companionship to pass the lonely days

You made no stipulations, and only signed it «Friend»

Oh it’s 3 o’clock, and I’m alone again
