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 got the routine, put another nickel |
| In the machine |
| Feeling so bad, won’t you make the music |
| Easy and sad |
| I could tell you a lot, but it’s not |
| In a gentleman’s code |
| Just 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 when I’m gloomy, won’t ya 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 soon might explode |
| Make it one for my baby |
| And one more for the road |
| Long, it’s so long, winding road |
