One For My Baby

One For My Baby - Ace Harris

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

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

Could tell you a lot

But that's not in a gentleman's code

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 lotta things to say

And when i'm gloomy

You simply gotta listen to me

Until it's 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 bending your ear

This torch i've found

Must be drowned or

It soon might explode

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

That long long long road
