Mina - One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) Lyrics






It's quarter to three
There's no one in the place 'cept 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 got the routine
Put another nickel in the machine
Feeling so bad
Can't you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
Just 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 I'd like to say
And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me
Till it's all, all 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

But this torch that I found
It's gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

    There's nothing in the world quite like the sound of Ella's voice. ❤

    Jesus, no matter who or how many other versions I listen to, I always come back to Ella. Nobody can touch her.

  3. D.... W....

    Unmatchable Ella, she knew how to sing/feel the song.

    ELLA is EVEREST; all the rest are ant hills by comparison.

    Lovely restrained, bluesy piano accompaniment adding a lot to the total impact. Ella superb, of course. Does anyone know who the pianist is?
