I'd like to get you,
on a slow boat to China,
all to myself, alone.
To get you and keep you
In my arms ever more.
Leave all your lovers
Weepin' on a faraway shore.
Out on the briney
With the moon big and shiny,
Melting your heart of stone.
I'd like to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to myself, alone.
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Oh, just to get you and keep you in my arms for evermore
Just leave all your lovers weepin' on the faraway shore
Out on the briny with the moon big and shinny
I'm melting your heart of stone
And darling, I'd like to get you
On a slow boat
All to myself
