One For My Baby

One For My Baby - Yvonne De Carlo

Written by：Arlen/Johnny Mercer

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

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 you gotta to be true to your code

So 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 want to say

And when I'm gloomy won't you listen to me

Till it's 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

It's gotta be drowned

Or it soon might explode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road a long long road
