The Sky's The Limit - Fred Astaire

It’s a quarter to three, there’s no one in the place

Except you and me

So set 'em up Joe, I got a little story

You oughta 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, so drop another nickel

In the machine

I’m feeling so bad, I wish you’d make the music

Dreamy and sad

Could tell you a lot, but that’s not

In a gentleman’s code

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 to say

And when I’m gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me

Until it’s all talked away

Well that’s how it goes, and Joe I know you’re gettin'

Ready to close

Thanks for the beer

I hope you didn’t mind

My bending your ear

Don’t let it be said

Little Freddie couldn’t carry his load

Make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

That long long road
