One for my Baby (and one more for the Road)   (Frank Sinatra) - STING 22411   (Paul Bristow)

 

 (Opener):

SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:  It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story I think you should know
- ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING

We're drinkin', my friend, to the end - of a brief episode - SWING and PROMENADE
It’s one for my baby - and one more for the road

 

 (Figure): HEADS SQUARE THRU - you'd never know it - but buddy, I'm a kind of poet

PASS THE OCEAN you do - RECYCLE and then - BOY WALK, GIRL DODGE - BOYS RUN

A RIGHT AND LEFT THRU - DIXIE STYLE MAKE A WAVE - BOY CROSS FOLD - SWING your Corner - PROMENADE

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

 

 

 (Middle Break): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE: I got the routine, put another nickel in the machine
Feelin' so bad, wish you'd make the music easy and sad
- ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING
I could tell you a lot, but you've got - to be true to your code
- SWING and PROMENADE
One for my baby - and one more for the road

 

 

 (Closer): SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

 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 bendin' your ear
- ALLEMANDE LEFT and WEAVE THE RING

But this torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode - SWING and PROMENADE
One for my baby - one more for the road

 

 

 (Tag): SWING your Girl - make it one for my baby and one - more - for - the - road

 
 
(ORIGINAL LYRICS):

 

It's quarter to three, there's no one in the place except you and me
So, set 'em up, Joe, I got a little story I think you should know
We're drinkin', 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
Feelin' so bad, wish you'd make the music easy and sad
I could tell you a lot, but you've got 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 got a lot of things I'd like to say
And when I'm gloomy, won't you listen to me? - 'Til it's 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 bendin' your ear
But this torch that I found must be drowned or it soon might explode
So, make it one for my baby and one more for the road

 

The long, it's so long
The long, very long
