One For My Baby Lyrics

    Lyrics: Johnny Mercer

    It's quarter to three
    There's no one in the place
    Except you and me
    So set 'em up Joe
    I've got a little story
    You oughta know
    We're drinkin' 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
    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
    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 lotta things to say
    And when I'm gloomy, you gotta listen to me
    Until 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've found, must be drowned
    Or it soon will explode
    Make it one for my baby
    And one more for the road
    That long, long road
    See ya Frank
