Perry Como - One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) lyrics

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! ~ featured in the 1955 Hollywood musical "Young at Heart" Arranged by Jack Andrews
