| Song | One for My Baby (And One More for the Road) |
| Artist | Ella Fitzgerald |
| Album | Sings the Harold Arlen Song Book |
| Lyrics:Johnny Mercer Music:Harold Arlen | |
| It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place | |
| Except you and me | |
| So set 'em' up Joe, 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 know the routine, put another nickel | |
| In the machine | |
| I feel kind of bad, can't you make the music | |
| Easy and sad | |
| I could tell you a lot, but it's not | |
| In a gentleman's 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 I'd like to say | |
| And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me | |
| Till it's talked away | |
| Well that's how it goes, and Joe I know your gettin' | |
| Anxious to close | |
| Thanks for the cheer | |
| I hope you didn't mind | |
| My bending your ear | |
| But this torch that I found, It's gotta be drowned | |
| Or it's gonna explode | |
| Make it one for my baby | |
| And one more for the road |
