One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) Lyrics
(Johnny Mercer/Harold Arlen)
It's quarter to three,
There's no one in the place 'cept you and me
So set 'em' up Joe
I got a little story I think you should 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
Put another nickel in the machine
Feeling so bad
Can't you make the music easy and sad
I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
Just 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 I'd liketo say
And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me
Till it's all, all 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
But this torch that I found
It's gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
There's no one in the place 'cept you and me
So set 'em' up Joe
I got a little story I think you should know
To the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Put another nickel in the machine
Feeling so bad
Can't you make the music easy and sad
But you gotta to be true to your code
Just make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
But buddy I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things I'd liketo say
And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me
Till it's all, all talked away
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
It's gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
