Tony Bennett - One For My Baby Lyrics


This song features John Mayer so I wanted to learn it. But the lyrics I found online are really inaccurate. Here's a corrected version. TB is for Tony Bennett and JM is for John Mayer.

TB: Hey John
JM: Yes sir
TB: Cmon, let's have a drink
JM: If you insist

TB:
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 oughta know
Wait till you hear about 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)

JM:
I got the routine, (TB: Oh no you too)
So drop another nickel in the machine
Man I'm feelin so bad, (TB: Wow)
I wish you'ld make the music dreamy and sad
I could tell you a lot,
(TB: You too right)
But you've got to be true to your code

Both:
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

TB: 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

JM: And when I'm goony, you simply gotta listen to me
until it's talked away

TB: Let's have another drink, bartender, fill it up again, will you

TB: That's how it goes, John I know your gettin very anxious to close
(JM: You don't know me well)

JM:
Tony thanks for the cheer
I hope you don't mind me
Bending your ear

TB:
Cause this torch that I found, must be drowned
Or it soon might explode

Both:
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
(TB: Take it home now)

Both:
That long, (long), long road
(TB: Let's leave a tip, sleep tight)
