One for My Baby (And One More for the Road)

作曲：Harold Arlen

作词：Johnny Mercer

Hey, John

Yes, sir

Come on, let's have a drink

If you insist

It's quarter to three

There's no one in the place, except you and me

Set 'em up, Joe

You know, John, I got a little story that you ought to know

Wait 'til you hear 'bout this

We're drinking, my friend

To the end of a brief episode

I'm telling' you, that's what happened

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road (here's to you, cheers)

I got the routine (oh no, you too)

So drop another nickel in the machine

Man, I'm feeling so bad (wow)

I wish you'd make that music dreamy and sad

I could tell you a lot (you too, right?

)

But you've got to be true to your code (okay)

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

Yeah, that's right, I've got a lot of things to say

And when I'm gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me

Until it's talked away

Let's have another drink

Bartender, fill it up again, will you?

That's how it goes

John, I know you're getting very anxious to close

(You don't know me well enough)

Tony, thanks for the cheer

I hope you don't mind me bending your ear

'Cause 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 (take it home now)

That long (that long)

Long road

Let's leave it to it

Sleep tight
