One For My Baby

One For My Baby - Georgia Gibbs

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place

Except you and me

So set 'em up Joe

I've got a little story

You oughta know

We're drinking my friend

To the end of a

Brief episode

So 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 feelin' so bad

I wish you'd make the

Music dreamy and sad

I could tell you a lot

But you gotta to

Be true to your code

So make it 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 wanna say

And if I'm gloomy

Please listen to me

Till all talked away

Well that's how it goes

Joe I know you're

Gettin anxious to close

So thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind

My bending your ear

This torch that I found

Must be drowned or

It soon might explode

So Make it one for my baby

One more for the road
