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

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 you outta know

were drinking my friend to the end of a brief episode

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

i got the routine

so drop another nickel in the machine

i'm feeling so bad

wish you'd make the music pretty and sad

could tell you a lot but you've got to be true to your 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 got a lot of things to say

but when i'm gloomy

you've simply gotta listen to me

till its all talked away

well that's how it goes

and Joe i know your getting pretty anxious to close

so thanks for the cheer

i hope you didn't mind my bending your ear

this torch that i've found

must be drowned

or it soon might explode

so make it one for my baby and one more for the road

that long, long, road.
