One for My Baby

One for My Baby - Harry Belafonte

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place

But 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 a lot

But you've got to be true to your code

So make it one for my baby

Yes and one more for the road

You'd never know it but buddy

I'm a kind poet

And I got a lot of things to say

And when I'm gloomy you simply

Got to listen to me

Till it's all talked away

Well that's how it goes

And Joe I know you're getting an an

Anxious to close

So thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind

Me bending your ear

This torch I found must be drowned

Or it soon will explode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

That long long road
