One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)

One for the My Baby (And One More for the Road) (Remastered 2014) - Lena Horne

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 drinkin' my friend

To the end of a brief episode

Just make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

I've got the routine

So put another nickel in the machine

I'm feelin' so bad

I hope they 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

And 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

'Til it's talked away

So 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 bendin' your ear

The torch that I found

Must be drowned or it soon will explode

Oh make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

That long long road
