One for My Baby
Song by Frank Sinatra
It’s quarter to three, there’s no one in the place
‘Cept you and me
So set ’em up, Joe, I got a little story
I think you should 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
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
Just 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
And I got a lotta things I’d like to say
And when I’m gloomy, won’t you listen to me
‘Til it’s talked away?
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 bendin’ 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
The long
It’s so long
The long
Very long
