Lyrics of one for my baby by Xiong Rulin

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 know the routine

So I drop another nickel

In the machine

I feel kind of bad

I wish you make the music

Easy and sad

I could tell you a lot

But you've got to 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 poet

And I've got a lot of things to say

And when I'm gloomy

You simply gotta listen to me

Till it's all talked away

Well that's how it goes

And Joe I know you're

Getting pretty 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's soon might explode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

That long.. long road ...
