Lyrics One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) - Lena Horne

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

Its quarter to three,
There’s no one in the place cept you and me So set em up joe
I got a little story I think you oughtta know
Were drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine
Put another nickel in that there machine
Im feeling so bad
Wont you make the music easy and sad
I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Youd never know it But buddy Im a kind of poet
And Ive got a lot of things I wanna say
And if Im gloomy, please listen to me Till it’s all, all talked away
Well, that’s how it goes
And joe I know you’re 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
Its gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
