Johnny Mercer
One For My Baby
[Verse 1]
It's quarter to three and there's no one in the place except you and me
So set them up Joe, I got a little story you ought to know
We're drinking my friend on to the end of a brief episode
[Chorus]
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
[Verse 2]
I got the routine, going to drop another quarter in this machine
Feeling so bad, I got to have the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot but you have got to be true to your code
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Joe you'd never know it but I'm a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things to say
But when I'm gloomy just listen to me until it's all talked away
Well, that's how it goes and Joe I know you're getting anxious to close
Thanks, thanks for the cheer, hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
The torch that I found must be drowned or soon might explode
[Chorus]
Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
One more for the road
