Текст песни One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) - Perry Como

It′s a quarter t' three,
There′s no one in the place except you an' me.
So, set 'em up Joe, I′ve got a little story that you otta kno.
We′re drinkin' my friend, t′ the end of a brief episode,
Make it one for ma baby an' 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 an' sad,
Could tell you a lot, but you've got to be true to your ′code′
Make it one for ma baby, one more for the road .. .

You'd never kno′ it, but Buddy, I'm kind of a poet,
And I′ve 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 kno' you′re gettin′ anxious t' close,
So thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn′t mind my bendin' your ear .. .
This torch that I′ve found, must be drowned or it soon will explode,
Make it one for ma baby, an' one more for the road .. .

That long, long road!
