One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place except you and me

So set 'em up joe

I've got a little story you oughta know

We're drinkin' my friend
To the end of a brief episode

Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I got the routine

So drop another nickel in the machine

I'm feelin' so bad

I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad

Could tell you a lot

But you've gotta' be true to your code

Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

You'd never know it

But buddy i'm a kind of poet

And i've got a lot of things to say
And when i'm gloomy

You simply gotta listen to me
Until it's talked away

Well that's how it goes

And joe i know you're gettin' anxious to close

So thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear

This torch that i've found

Must be drowned or it soon might explode

Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

The long long long long long road

One for my baby

One for road
