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

It's a quarter to three

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

So, set 'em up Joe, I've got a little story that you otta know

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

Make it one for ma baby an' 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 an' sad

Could tell you a lot but you've got to be true to your code

Make it one for ma baby, one more for the road



You'd never kno' it, but Buddy, I'm kind of a 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 bendin' your ear

This torch that I've found, must be drowned or it soon will explode

Make it one for ma baby, an' one more for the road



That long, long road
