Nellie McKay - One for My Baby (And One More for The Road) lyrics
[Nellie McKay - One for My Baby And One More for The Road lyrics]
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 oughta 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 put 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, you've got to be true to your code
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 gotta listen to me
Until it's talked away
Well, that's how it goes and, Joe
I know you're getting anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
This torch that I found must be drowned
Or it soon might explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long, long road
There's no one in the place
Except you and me
So set 'em up, Joe i got a little story
You oughta 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 put 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, you've got to be true to your code
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 gotta listen to me
Until it's talked away
Well, that's how it goes and, Joe
I know you're getting anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
This torch that I found must be drowned
Or it soon might explode
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
That long, long road
