One For My Baby And One More For The lyrics

One For My Baby



It`s quarter to three,

there`s no one in the place

Except 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, won`t you make the music

Easy and sad

I could tell you a lot, but it`s not

In a gentleman`s 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 like to say

And when I`m gloomy, won`t ya listen to me

Till it`s talked away



Well, that`s how it goes,

and Joe I know your gettin`

Anxious to close

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`s soon might explode

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

Long, it`s so long, winding road
