One For My Baby

One For My Baby
Its quarter to three

Theres no one in the place

Except you and me

So set em up Joe

I got a little story I think you should 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 know the routine

So I drop another nickel
In the machine

I feel kind of bad

I wish you make the music
Easy and sad

I could tell you a lot

But youve got to be true to your code

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

Youd never know it

But buddy Im a kind of poet

And Ive got a lot of things to say

And when Im gloomy

You simply gotta listen to me

Till its all talked away

Well thats how it goes

And Joe I know youre
Getting pretty anxious to close

So thanks for the cheer

I hope you didnt mind
My bending your ear

This torch that I found

Must be drowned

Or its soon might explode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

That long.. long road ...
