One for My Baby Lyrics


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 knowWe're drinkin' my friend
To the end of a brief episodeMake it one for my baby
And one more for the roadI got the routine
So drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feelin' so bad
I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sadCould tell you a lot
But you've gotta' be true to your codeMake it one, 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 to sayAnd when I'm gloomy
You simply gotta listen to me
Until it's all talked awayWell, 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 earThis torch that I've found

Must be drowned or it soon might explodeMake it one for my baby
And one more for the roadWell, 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 earThis torch that I've found
Must be drowned or it soon might explodeMake it one for my baby
And one more for the road
The long, long road

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 in Newport News, VA – June 15, 1996), also known as Lady Ella (the First Lady of Song), was one of the most influential jazz singers of the 20th Century, the winner of thirteen Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Art presented by President Ronald Reagan and the Presidential Medal of Freedom presented by President George H. W. Bush. Gifted with a three-octave vocal range, she was noted for her purity of tone, near faultless phrasing and intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
