One For My Baby

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the joint

It's just you and me

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

Well I know the routine

Just drop another nickel in that machine

I'm feelin' so bad

Can't you make the music

Easy and sad

I could tell you a lot

But I've got to be true to my code

Make it one for my baby

And one for the road

Now you'd never know it

But joe I'm quite a poet joe

And I've got a lot of things I'd like to say

Just now I'm feelin' gloomy

So please listen to me

Till it's talked away

So that's how it goes

And joe I know you're getting anxious to close

Well

Thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind me

Bending your ear

But this torch that I found

Joe

It's gotta be drowned

Or I think

It

Might explode

Make it one for my baby

And another one for the road

That long road
