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 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 got the routine

put another nickel

In the machine

Feelin' so bad

can't you make the music

Easy and sad

I can tell you a lot

but it's not

In a gentleman's code

So just 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 say

And when I'm gloomy

won't you listen to me

Till it's all talked away

Well that's how it goes

and Joe I know your 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's soon might explode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

Just make it one for my baby

And one more for the road
