One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)
It's a quarter to three and there's no one in the place except you and me
So set 'em up Joe, I got a little story, you ought to know
We're drinkin' my friend, on to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road
I got the routine, gonna drop another quarter in this machine
Feelin' so bad, I got to have the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but you have got to be true to your code
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road
Joe you'd never know it, but I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things to say
But when I'm gloomy, just listen to me until it's all talked away
Well, that's how it goes, and Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer, hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear?
The torch that I found must be drowned or soon might explode
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road
One more for the road
One more for the road
So set 'em up Joe, I got a little story, you ought to know
We're drinkin' my friend, on to the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road
I got the routine, gonna drop another quarter in this machine
Feelin' so bad, I got to have the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but you have got to be true to your code
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road
Joe you'd never know it, but I'm a kind of poet
And I've got a lot of things to say
But when I'm gloomy, just listen to me until it's all talked away
Well, that's how it goes, and Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close
Thanks for the cheer, hope you didn't mind my bendin' your ear?
The torch that I found must be drowned or soon might explode
Make it one for my baby, and one more for the road
One more for the road
One more for the road
