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 got a little story

I think you should knowWe're drinking my friend to the end of a brief episode

Make it one for my baby and one more for the road

I know the routine, put another nickel in the machine

I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music easy and sadI could tell you a lot, but it's not in a gentleman's 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 I'd like to sayAnd if I'm gloomy, please listen to me

Till it's talked away well, that's how it goes

And Joe I know your gettin' anxious to close

Thanks for the cheer
