Mina - One For My Baby lyrics

rate me

It's quarter to three,<br />

There's no one in the place 'cept you and me<br />

So set 'em' up Joe<br />

I got a little story I think you should know<br />

<br />

We're drinking my friend<br />

To the end of a brief episode<br />

Make it one for my baby<br />

And one more for the road<br />

<br />

I got the routine<br />

Put another nickel in the machine<br />

Feeling so bad<br />

Can't you make the music easy and sad<br />

<br />

I could tell you a lot<br />

But you gotta to be true to your code<br />

Just make it one for my baby<br />

And one more for the road<br />

<br />

You'd never know it<br />

but buddy I'm a kind of poet<br />

And I've got a lot of things I'd liketo say<br />

And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me<br />

Till it's all, all talked away<br />

<br />

Well, that's how it goes<br />

And Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close<br />

So Thanks for the cheer<br />

I hope you didn't mind<br />

My bending your ear<br />

<br />

But this torch that I found<br />

It's gotta be drowned<br />

Or it soon might explode<br />

So make it one for my baby<br />

And one more for the road
