ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA



I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,

all to myself, alone.

Get you and keep you in my arms evermore,

leave all your lovers weeping on the far away shore.

Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny

melting your heart of stone.

I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,

all to myself, alone.



There is no verse to this song

'cause I don't want to wait a moment too long

to say that



I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,

all to myself, alone.

Get you and keep you in my arms evermore,

leave all your lovers weeping on the far away shore.

Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny

melting your heart of stone.

I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,

all to myself, alone.
