One For My Baby

Its 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 oughtta know

Were drinking my friend to the end of a brief episode

So make it one for my baby and one more for the road

I know the routine put another nickel in that there machine

I'm feeling so bad wont you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot but that's not and a gentleman's code

So 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 wanna say

And if I'm gloomy, please 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 its gotta be drowned

Or it soon might explode so make it one for my baby and one more for the road
