One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)

One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) - Ella Fitzgerald

Written by：Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place except you and me

So stem up Joe

I've got a little story you ought a 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

So drop another nickel in the machine

I'm feeling so bad

I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad

Could tell you a lot

But you've go to be true to your code

Make it one 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 to say

And when I'm gloomy

You simply gotta listen to me

Until it's all talked away

Well that's how it goes

And Joe I know you're getting anxious to close

So thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear

This torch that I've found

Must be drowned or it soon might explode

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

The long road

One for my baby

One for the road
