one for my baby and one more for the road feat john mayer

Tony Bennett

It s quarter to three, there s no one in the place
Except you and me
So set em up Joe, (you know John), I got a little story
I think you should 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, (you too), so drop another another nickel
In the machine
Man, I m feeling so bad, I wish you d make the music
Dreamy and sad

I 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 lot
Of things to say

And when I m gloomy
You simply gotta listen to me
Until they re all talked away

That s how it goes
John, I know you re
Getting very anxious to close
Tony, thanks for the cheer
I hope you don t mind
My bending your ear

Cause 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, that long, long road...
