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

One for My Baby(And One More for the Road) (Remastered) - Billie Holiday

Composed by:Harold 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 all know

We're drinkin' 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

I'm feelin' so bad wish you'd make

The music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot but you've got

To be true to your 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 got a lot of things I'd like to say

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

'Til it's 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 bendin' your ear

But this torch that I found must be drowned

Or it soon might explode

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 got a lot of things I'd like to say

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

'Til it's 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 bendin' your ear

But this torch that I found must be drowned

Or it soon might explode

So make it one for my baby and one more

For the road

 

The long long long
