One For My Baby - Jo Stafford
Written by:Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer
It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set them up Joe
I've got a little story
You oughta know
We're drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So 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
So make it one for my baby
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 gotta listen to me
Untill it's talked away
Well that's how it goes
And Joe I know you're getting
Anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
This torch that I found
Must be drowned
Or it soon will explode
So make it one for my baby
One more for the road
That long long road
