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
|
