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

"One for My Baby (and One More for the Road)" is a hit song popularized by Frank Sinatra. It was written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer for the movie musical The Sky's the Limit (1943) and first performed in the film by Fred Astaire. Harold Arlen described the song as "another typical Arlen tapeworm" – a "tapeworm" being the trade slang for any song which went over the conventional 32 bar length. He called it "a wandering song. [Lyricist] Johnny [Mercer] took it and wrote it exactly the way it fell. .

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

[00:14.72] It's quarter to three
[00:18.52] There's no one in the place
[00:22.45] 'Cept you and me
[00:29.30] So set 'em up Joe
[00:33.03] I got a little story
[00:36.71] I think you should know
[00:43.77] We're drinking my friend
[00:47.83] To the end of a brief episode
[00:58.05] Make it one for my baby and one more
[01:06.30] For the road
[01:14.97] I got the routine
[01:18.93] Put another nickel in the machine
[01:30.55] Feeling so bad
[01:34.37] Can't you make the music easy and sad
[01:45.79] I could tell you a lot
[01:50.33] But you've gotta be true to your code
[02:00.68] Just make it one for my baby and one more
[02:10.86] For the road
[02:18.22] You'd never know it, but buddy, I'm a kind of poet
[02:24.93] And I got a lot of things I'd like to say
[02:33.56] And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me
[02:44.30] 'Til it's talked away
[02:52.70] Well, that's how it goes
[02:59.61] And Joe I know you're getting anxious to close
[03:11.38] And thanks for the cheer
[03:15.47] I hope you didn't mind my bending your ear
[03:25.44] But this torch that I've found
[03:30.82] It's gotta be drowned or it soon might explode
[03:41.82] So make it one for my baby
[03:48.41] And one more for the road
[03:55.14] The long
[04:00.71] It's so long
[04:05.12] The long
[04:09.09] Very long
