One For My Baby - Chuck Berry

It’s quarter to three and there’s no one in the place except you and me

So set them up Joe, I got a little story you ought to know

We’re drinking my friend on to the end of a brief episode

Make it one for my baby and one more for the road

I got the routine, going to drop another quarter in this machine

Feeling so bad, I got to have the music dreamy and sad

I could tell you a lot but you have got to be true to your code

Joe you’d never know it but I’m a kind of poet

And I got a lot of things to say

But when I’m gloomy just listen to me until it’s all talked away

Well, that’s how it goes and Joe I know you’re getting anxious to close

Thanks, thanks for the cheer, hope you didn’t mind my bending your ear

The torch that I found must be drowned or soon might explode

Make it one for my baby and one more for the road

One more for the road
