Marvin Gaye - One for My Baby (And One More for the... lyrics

One For My Baby 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 got the routine, put another nickel In the machine Feeling so bad, won't you make the music Easy and sad I could tell you a lot, but it's not In a gentleman's code Just 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 when I'm gloomy, won't ya 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 soon might explode Make it one for my baby And one more for the road Long, it's so long, winding road
