One for My Baby

One For My Baby - David Campbell

Written by：Johnny Mercer/Harold Arlen

It's quarter to three

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

So set 'em' up joe

I got a little story I think you oughtta know

We're drinking my friend

To the end

Of a brief episode

Make it one for my baby

One more for the road

I know the routine

Put another doller

In that there machine

I'm feeling so bad

Can't you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot

But it's not

In a gentle man coal make a

One for my baby

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 want to say

And when I'm gloomy

Please listen to me

To the 'till it's talked away

And

That's how it goes

Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close

Thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind

My bending your ear

But this torch that I've found

It's gotta be drowned

Or it's soon might explode

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

The long

The long

Many it's long
