billie holiday – one for my baby (and one more for the road) [1957 stereo version] lyrics
it’s quarter to three
there’s no one in the place, except you and me
so set ’em’ up joe, i’ve got a little story, you oughta 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
so drop another nickel in the machine
i’m feeling so bad, i wish you’d make the music dreamy and sad
i could tell you a lot but you’ve gotta 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 a poet
and i’ve got a lot of things to say
and when i’m gloomy, you simply gotta listen to mean
until it’s talked away
well, that’s how it goes
and joe i know you’re gettin’ anxious to close
so thanks for the cheer, i hope you didn’t mind, my bending your ear
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
you’d never know it, but buddy i’m a kind of a poet
and i’ve got a lot of things to say
and when i’m gloomy, you simply got to listen to me
until it’s talked away
well, that’s how it goes
and joe i know you’re gettin’ anxious to close
so thanks for the cheer, i hope you didn’t mind my bending your ear
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, long road
