Frank Sinatra
One For My Baby (Mono/Test Track/June 24, 1958)
[Intro]
Test track, uh, "One For My Baby"
Take one

[Verse 1]
It's quarter to 3
There's no one in the place 'cept you and me
So set 'em up, Joe
I 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

[Verse 2]
I got the routine
Put another nickel in the machine
Feelin' so bad
Can't you make the music easy and sad?
I could tell you a lot, but you've gotta be
True to your code
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

[Bridge]
You'd never know it, but buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things I'd like to say
And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me
'Til it's talked away?
[Verse 3]
Well, that's how it goes
And Joe, I know you're gettin' anxious to close
And thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
But this torch that I've found, it's gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

[Outro]
The long
That long
It's long
