Let's take a slow boat to China. Leave from South Carolina
Let's take our time and go the long way
On a junk boat to Thailand with your hand in mine hand
Well, this old boat's go no sail so won't you please hold our mail-
For awhile
Thanks anyway pal but the Suez Canal
Ain't our style
Let's take a slow boat to China and maybe we'll find a
New way to play those same old games
The stars just might show us and the captain will know us
Shake our hands and call us by our first names
We'll send a postcard to Grandpa of a vase or rickshaw
He don't care
We'll buy Mom a kimono or maybe we'll just phone her
When we're there
We'll drink sake at night beneath the soft harbor lights
On the bay
We'll build house on the hill next to Shangri-Li Bill
And we'll stay
Let's take that slow boat to China (Let's go)
Slow boat to China (Real Slow)
Slow boat to China (Let's go)
Slow boat to China (Real Slow)
Let's go Real Slow
Let's go Real Slow
Let's go Real Slow
Let's take that slow boat to China (Let's go)
Slow boat to China (Real Slow)
Slow boat to China (Let's go)

The pounding of the hooves
The silence of everything that moves
Late at night you'll see them
