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

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place 'cept you and me

So set 'em up Joe

I got a little story, I think you ought to know

We're drinking my friend

To the end of a brief episode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

I know the routine

Put another nickel in that, there machine

I'm feeling so bad

Won't you make the music easy and sad?

I could tell you a lot

But you got to be true to your code

So 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 I wanna say

And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me

Till it's all, all talked away

Well, 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 ear

But this torch that I found

It's gotta be drowned or it soon might explode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

That long, that long, man it's long

It's a long, long, long road
