What Is the Meaning for the Set em Up

• #i

Hi everybody,
in the lyrics of the Billie Holiday's song " One for my baby (And i more for the route ") at that place is the post-obit passage :

It'south quarter to three
At that place's no 1 in the place except y'all and me
So set 'em up Joe
I've got a footling story you ought to know

I can't translate in Italian the expression in bold . Can you help me?

The whole lyrics is in the link http://world wide web.billieholidaysongs.com/

Ciao, io direi

Sospendi,
Ora basta,
Fai una pausa,

Insomma: il concetto credo che sia, perché continui (a lavorare)?
Fermati due east ti racconto una storia.

Potrebbe starci con il resto del testo?

NO, sorry. Set 'em up Joe means she'southward talking to the bartender and request for another round of drinks. It makes you recall of a bartender putting a row of shot glasses on the counter and filling them up.

Ah, now I reddish all the lyric.
So perhaps preparali, or less literally versaci da bere

Ciao

Set 'em up means to prepare the shot spectacles on the bar, presumably to be filled with whiskey. I can only come upwardly with "versare un altro giro" because I haven't spent a lot of time in bars at closing time calling for a concluding round. I'1000 sure in that location are many more bar-appropriate expressions in Italian.

Ready 'em upward means to prepare up the shot glasses on the bar, presumably to exist filled with whiskey. I can merely come up with " versare un altro giro" because I haven't spent a lot of time in confined at closing fourth dimension calling for a last round. I'm sure at that place are many more bar-appropriate expressions in Italian.

I think in Italian is more mutual facciamo un altro giro
