One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) Lyrics

It′s a 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 that you oughta know
We're drinkin′ 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 you a lot
But you've got to be true to your code

Make it one for my baby
One more for the road

You′d never know it
But buddy I'm kind of a poet
And I′ve got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy
You simply gotta listen to me
Until it's 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 bendin' your ear
This torch that I′ve found
Must be drowned or it soon will explode

Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

That long long road!
