One For My Baby

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 drinking 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 feeling so bad, I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad

I 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 a poet

And I've got a lot of things to say

And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to mean

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 found must be drowned or it soon might explode



Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road



You'd never know it, but buddy I'm a kind of a poet

And I've got a lot of things to say

And when I'm gloomy, you simply got to 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 found must be drowned or it soon might explode



Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

That long, long road
