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

One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) - The Hit Co.

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

Feelin' so bad

Cann'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 you listen to me

Till it's talked away

Well that's how it goes,

And Joe I know your gettin

Anxious to close

And thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind

Bending your ear

But this torch that I found

It's gotta be drowned

Or it's so might explode

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

The long

It's so long

The long

Winding road
