One for My Baby Lyrics

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 you oughta 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
I'm feeling so bad
I wish you'd make the music easy and sad

'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 to say

And when I'm gloomy
You simply got to listen to me
Till 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 bending your ear

But this torch that I found
Must be drowned
Or it soon may explode

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

That long, long road...
