One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)

Hey John

Yes sir

Come on let's have a drink

If you insist

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place

Except you and me

Set'em up, Joe

You know John I got a little story that you oughta know,

Wait' till you hear 'bout this"

We're drinking my friend,

To the end Of a brief episode

I am tellin' you that's what happened

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road, (Here's to you, cheers)

I got the routine (Oh no you too)

So drop another nickel in the machine

Man, I'm feeling so bad

I wish you'd make that music dreamy and sad

I could tell you a lot (You too, right?)

But you've got to be true to your code (okay)

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

Well yea that's right, I've got a lot Of things to say

And when I'm gloomy You simply gotta listen to me

Until it's talked away

Let's have another drink. Bartender fill it up again, will you?

That's how it goes

John, I know you're getting very anxious to close

"You don't know me well enough"

Tony thanks for the cheer

I hope you don't mind me bending your ear

'Cause this torch that I found

Must be drowned or it or soon might explode

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

Take it home, now

That long,

That long, long road

Let's leave it to it,

Sleep tight
