One For My Baby

Mina


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 drinking 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 
Feeling so bad 
Can't you make the music easy and sad 

I could tell you a lot 
But you gotta to 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've got a lot of things I'd liketo say 
And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me 
Till it's all, all talked away 

Well, that's how it goes 
And Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close 
So 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 soon might explode 
So make it one for my baby 
And one more for the road
