One For My BabyOne for My Baby (from "Duets")Writer(s): Johnny Mercer/Harold Arlen It's 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 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 Can't you make the music easy and sad I could tell you a lot But you gotta to be true to your 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 liketo say And when I'm gloomy, won't you 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 It's gotta be drowned Or it soon might explode So make it one for my baby And one more for the road If you find some error in the lyrics, |
