One For My Baby

(альбом: Pieces Of Treasure - 2023)

It's a quarter to three
Nobody's in the place, just you and me
Set 'em up Joe
I got a story that you oughta know
We'll be drinking my friend, to the end
Of a brief episode
Make it one for my baby
One more for the road

I got a little green
Drop another nickel in the machine
Joe, I'm feeling so bad
I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad
Could tell you a lot, but Joe you got
To be true to your code
Just make it one for my baby
One more for the road

Buddy you'd never know it, but I'm a kind of poet
I've got a lot of things to say
When I get gloomy, just listen to me
'Til it's all talked away

Well I guess that's how it goes
Joe I know your actions too close
Thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
A torch that I found must be drowned
Or it soon might explode
Make it one for my baby
One more for the road
One more for the road
One more for the road
One more for the road
