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

Okay, and once again, here's Bette Midler{"Well, you know, when they asked me to come on and
I can't believe it, the last, the last guest
The last fool Mr. Carson will have to suffer gladly
You are the wind beneath my wings
Oh, well he is"}Quarter to three
There's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em up, Joe
Got a little story, I think you should knowWe're drinkin', my friend
To the end of a sweet episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the roadGot the routine
So drop another nickel in the machine
Oh, gee, I'm feelin' so bad
Wish you'd make the music so dreamy and sadYou could tell me a lot
But it's not in a gentleman's code
Let's make it one for my baby
And one more for the roadYou may not know it but buddy you're a kind of poet
And you've had a lot of things to say

And when I'm gloomy, you always listen to me
Until it's talked awayWell, that's how it goes
And John I know you're getting anxious to close
So, thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind me, bending your earFor all of the years
For the laughs, for the tears
For the class that you showedMake it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long, long road"Thank you, Bette, ah"
