Here are some pop songs you might consider. I don't know who wrote them, but Frank Sinatra sang "One More for the Road"--"We're drinking, my friend, to the end of a brief episode, so give me one for my baby, and one more for the road."

Nat King Cole had some good ones: "Blue Gardenia," "Dance, Ballerina, Dance."

And did anyone mention Jesse Fuller's "San Francisco Bay Blues"?
