One For My Baby

(الألبوم: Swing When You're Winning - 2001)

It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place
Except 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
I'm feeling so bad
Won't you make the music
Easy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But it's not
In a gentleman's 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 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 your getting
Anxious to close
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
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

The long, it's so long, long winding road
