One For My Baby

It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place
Except you and me

So set 'em up, Joe
'Cause I've got a little story
At I think you should know

We're drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And another one for the road

I know the routine
Just put another quarter in the machine
I feel so bad
Can't you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But it's not in his gentleman's code
So make it one for my baby
And another one for the road

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 if I'm gloomy
Please listen to me
Until it's all talked away

Well, that's how it goes
And Joe, I know your getting so anxious to close
Anyway, thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear

But this torch that I found
It's gotta be drowned
Or it's gonna explode

So make it one for my baby
And another one for the road
The long
It's so long
That long road
