One for My Baby

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
