Two Fingers of House Scotch
A bartender should be paunchy and
middle-aged
His oldest kid in college, the youngest in
jail
Cigarettes in five ashtrays down the bar
His name is Blue; nobody knows just why
If there must be a woman behind the bar
Let her name be Sophie or Maud or Toots
Makeup, her hair dyed trash-fire red
She misses stripping at the Flamingo
Frank Sinatra once bought her a drink,
yeah, true
But now she kinda has a thing for Blue

Beaucoup creative license but Blue is from life, as is Sophie / Maud / Toots, modeled on any number of bartenders and waitresses.
