Lyrics One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) - Chuck Berry

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

It’s quarter to three and there’s no one in the place except you and me
So set them up Joe, I got a little story you ought to know
We’re drinking my friend on to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
I got the routine, going to drop another quarter in this machine
Feeling so bad, I got to have the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot but you have got to be true to your code
Joe you’d never know it but I’m a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things to say
But when I’m gloomy just listen to me until it’s all talked away
Well, that’s how it goes and Joe I know you’re getting anxious to close
Thanks, thanks for the cheer, hope you didn’t mind my bending your ear
The torch that I found must be drowned or soon might explode
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
One more for the road
