One For My Baby

One For My Baby - Jo Stafford

Written by：Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place

Except you and me

So set them 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

Could tell you a lot

But you've got 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 to say

And when I'm gloomy

You simply gotta listen to me

Untill it's talked away

Well that's how it goes

And Joe I know you're getting

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 will explode

So make it one for my baby

One more for the road

That long long road
