Johnny Mercer - One For My Baby (and One More For The Road)

Johnny Mercer

One For My Baby (and One More For The Road)

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 you ought to 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, so drop another nickel in the machine
I'm feeling so bad,I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad
Could tell you a lot, but that's not in a gentlemens 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 lot of things to say
And when I'm gloomy, you simply got to listen to me
Until it's all talked away
Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your getting anxious to close
So, thanks for the beer, I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
Don't let it be said that little Freddy can't carry his own
Just make it one for my baby and one more for the road
That long, long road
That long, long road

Mirror lyrics:

That long, long road
That long, long road
Just make it one for my baby and one more for the road
Don't let it be said that little Freddy can't carry his own
So, thanks for the beer, I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
Well that's how it goes and Joe, I know your getting anxious to close
Until it's all talked away
And when I'm gloomy, you simply got to listen to me
And I got a lot of things to say
You'd never know it but buddy, I'm a kind of poet

Just make it one for my baby and one more for the road
Could tell you a lot, but that's not in a gentlemens code
I'm feeling so bad,I wish you'd make the music dreamy and sad
I got the routine, so drop another nickel in the machine

Make it one for my baby and one more for the road
We're drinking, my friend, to the end of a brief episode
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story you ought to know
It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
