Lyrics for 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 drinking my friend To the end of a brief episode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road I've got the routine So drop another nickel in the machine I'm feeling so bad, we should make the music Dreamy and sad Could tell you a lot But you've got to 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 found, must be drowned Or it soon might explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road The long road One for my baby One for the road
