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

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place

Except you and meSo set 'em up Joe

I got a little story

I think you should knowWe're drinking my friend

To the end

Of a brief episodeMake it one for my baby

And one more for the roadI got the routine

Put another nickel

In the machineFeelin' so bad

Won't you make the music

Easy and sadI could tell you a lot

But it's not

In a gentleman's codeJust make it one for my baby

And one more for the roadYou'd never know it

But buddy I'm a kind of poet

And I've got a lot of things

I'd like to sayAnd when I'm gloomy

Won't you listen to me

Till it's talked awayWell, that's how it goes

And Joe I know your gettin'

Anxious to closeAnd thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind

My bending your earBut this torch that I found

It's gotta be drowned

Or it's soon might explodeMake it one for my baby

And one more for the roadThe long, it's so long

The long and winding road
