Songtexte One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) (From "The Sky's The Limit") - Lena Horne

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

We're drinkin′, my friend
To the end of a brief episode
Just make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I′ve got the routine
So put another nickel in the machine
I'm feelin′ so bad
I hope they make the music dreamy and sad

Could tell you a lot
But you've got to be true to your code
So 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 to say
And when I'm gloomy
You simply gotta listen to me
'Til it′s talked away

So that′s how it goes
Joe, I know you're gettin′ anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind my bendin′ your ear

The torch that I found
Must be drowned or it soon will explode
Oh, make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

That long, long road
