Johnny Mercer
One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) (2011)
[Intro: Tony Bennett & John Mayer]
Hey, John
Yes, sir
Come on, let's have a drink
Feels good
[Verse 1: Tony Bennett]
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 ought to know, haha
Would you hear about this?
We're drinking, my friend
To the end of a brief episode
I'm telling ya, that's what happened
[Refrain: Tony Bennett]
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
[Verse 2: John Mayer & Tony Bennett]
I got the routine (Oh no, you too?)
So, drop another nickel in the machine
Man, I'm feeling so bad (Wow)
I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot (You, too, right?)
But you've got to be true to your goal (Okay)
[Refrain: Tony Bennett & John Mayer]
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
[Verse 3: Tony Bennett]
You'd never know it, but buddy, I'm that kind of poet
Yeah, 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
[Interlude: Tony Bennett]
Let's have another drink
Bartender, fill it up, will ya?
That's how it goes
[Verse 4: Tony Bennett & John Mayer]
John, I know that you're gettin' very anxious to close
(You don't know me well enough)
Tony, thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind and bending your ear
'Cause this torch that I found
Must be drowned or it soon might explode
[Refrain: Both, Tony Bennett, John Mayer]
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road (Take it home now)
That long (That long)
Long road
[Outro: Tony Bennett]
Let's leave here
Sleep tight
