One For My Baby (and One More For The Road) Lyrics - Linda Eder

It's quarter to three 

There's no one in the place 

Except you and me 

So set 'em up Joe 

I've got a little story 

You oughta know 

Drinkin' 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 feelin' 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've got a lotta things to say 

And when I'm gloomy 

You 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've found 

Must be drowned 

Or it soon will explode 

Make it one for my baby 

And one more for the road 

Make it one for my baby 

And one more for the road 

That long, long road, see ya Frank
