Advertisement In The Voice

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 a 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
