One For My Baby - Lena Horne
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 drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
Just make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I've got the routine
So put another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad
I hope they 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
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 to say
And when I'm gloomy
You simply gotta listen to me
Till it's talked away
So that's how it goes
Joe I know you're getting anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
The torch that I found
Must be drowned or it soon will explode
Oh make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long long road
