One For My Baby (and One More For The Road) Lyrics

by 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 oughta know

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e55902-tony_bennett~one_for_my_baby_and_one_more_for_the_road_lyrics.html ]
We're drinking my friend,
To the end of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Here's to you!

I got the routine,
So drop another nickel in the machine
Man I'm feeling so bad,
I wish you made that music dreamy and sad

I could tell you a lie,
But you got to be true to your code
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
Yeah, that's right, I got a lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply got to listen to me
Until it's talked away

That's how it goes,
John I know you're gettin' really anxious to close
Tony, thanks for the cheer
I hope you don't mind me bending your ear
'Cause this torch that I found must be drowned
Or it soon might explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long, long, long road
