Ella Fitzgerald One For My Baby (and One More For The Road) Lyrics

One For My Baby (and One More For The Road) Lyrics

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 know the routine, put another nickel
In the machine
I feel kind of bad, can`t you make the music
Easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but it`s not
In a gentleman`s code
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 if I`m gloomy, please 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 gonna explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
