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 got a little story



I think you should 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 know the routine, put another nickel in the machine



I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music easy and sad



I could tell you a lot, but it's not in a gentleman's 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 I'd like to say



And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me



Till it's talked away well, that's how it goes



And Joe I know your gettin' anxious to close



Thanks for the cheer



I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear



But this torch that I found, it's gotta be drowned



Or it's gonna explode



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