Lyrics

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

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
