One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place Except you and me So set 'em up joe, I've got a little story You oughta know We're drinking, my friend, to the end Of a brief episode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road [Verse 2] I've got the routine, so drop another nickel In the machine I'm feeing so bad, I wish you'd make the music Dreamy 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 [Bridge] You'd never know it, but, buddy, I'm kind of a poet And I've got a lot of things to say And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me Until it's talked away [Verse 3] 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 This torch that I found must be drowned Or it soon might explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road [Bridge] You'd never know it, but, buddy, I'm kind of a poet And I've got a lot of things to say And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me Until it's talked away [Verse 3] 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 This torch that I found must be drowned Or it soon might explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road [Outro] That long, long road
