One for My Baby |
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 |
I think you should 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 know the routine, put another nickel |
In the machine |
I feel kind of bad, can’t you make the music |
Easy and sad |
I could tell you a lot, but it’s not |
In a gentleman’s code |
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 if I’m gloomy, please listen to me |
Till it’s talked away |
Well that’s how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin' |
Anxious to close |
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 gonna explode |
Make it one for my baby |
And one more for the road |
