One More for My Baby (& One More For The Road / Big Joe WilliamsWith Thad Jones & Mel Lewis) |
| 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 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 |
| 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 |
| I could tell you a lot |
| But you gotta to be true to your code |
| So make it one for my baby |
| 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 to say |
| And when I’m gloomy, you simply got to listen to me |
| Till it’s all talked away |
| Well, that’s how it goes |
| And, Joe, I know you’re gettin' pretty 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 |
| So make it one for my baby |
| And one more for the road |
| That long, long road |
