We have seen Hillary’s 3:00 a.m. call
We have seen B.Hussein Obama’s 3:00 a.m. call
And now McCain has his 3:00 a.m. call
.
Every time I see one of them all I can think of is this great song sung by Frank Sinatra.
One for My Baby
Lyric by Johnny Mercer, Music by Harold Arlen, 1943)
from the motion picture The Sky’s the Limit
It’s quarter to three, there’s no one in the place
Except you and me,
So, set ’em’ up Joe, I’ve 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 feelin’ so bad, I wish you’d make the music
Dreamy and sad,
Could tell you a lot, But you’ve got to be
True to your 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 gotta lot of things to say,
And when I’m gloomy, you simply gotta listen to me
Until it’s talked away.
Well, that’s how it goes, and Joe I know you’re getting
Anxious to close,
So, thanks for the cheer,
I hope you didn’t mind
My bending your ear
This torch that I’ve found, must be drowned
Or it might explode,
Make it one for my baby
And one more for the road,
That long, long road.
No matter who gets elected President next November, after inauguration, all citizens should call the White House at 3 A.M. and ask to speak to the President about their concerns on national issues. That seems to be the time when the candidates are all at their peak of problem solving abilities.
I’m just afraid how any of them would handle a call at 1:29 A.M. or 4:48 A.M. The country could really be in trouble.
This is such a great song by the greatest singer ever! Even though I am younger, I grew up listening to Old Blue Eyes.
I hope McCain can stick to his guns and do the right thing.
My, that was a “cheery” song. *ouch*.
Almost as cheery as our decisions must be…..
Les……….

I LOVE it, I am going to do just that. hahahaha I have the 800 number for the White House someplace. haahahhhahaaa
Lynn I love that song too.
Wollf, hahaha it is a sad song, but I love it. I think it is the only one out there that has the time 3:00 or close to it in the song. That’s why I thought about it.
