One For My Baby One More For The Road by Lou Rawls
One For My Baby One More For The Road lyrics
Well it's a quarter to three
There's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em up, Joe
I've got a little story
I think you ought to know, Joe
We are drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
Will you make it
One for my baby and
One more for the road?
I've got the routine
So drop another quarter
In the record machine
I'm feeling so bad
I wish you'd make that music
Make it dreamy and sad, Joe
Well, I could tell you a lot
But you got to be true to your code
Will you make it
One for my baby and
One more for the road?
Well now, you'd never know it
Buddy, I'm a kind of poet
And I got a lot of things I'd like to say, yeah
So when I'm gloomy
You simply got to listen to me
Until it is all talked away
Well that's how it goes
And Joe I know you're getting
I know you're ready to close
So I want to thank you for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
Well now this torch that I found
Must be drowned
Or it soon might explode
Will you make it
One for my baby and
One more for the road?
One more for the road, Joe?
One for my baby
One more for the road
That long, long road
