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
