I'd love to get you On a slow boat to China All to myself alone Get you and keep you In my arms ever more Leave all your lovers Weepin' on a far away shore Out on the briny With the moon big and shiny Melting your heart of stone Honey I'd love to get you On a slow boat to China All by myself alone I'd love to get ya On a slow boat to China All to myself alone A twist in the rudder And a rip in the sails Drifting and dreamin' Honey throw the compass over the rail Out on the ocean Far from all the commotion Melting your heart of stone Honey I'd love to get you On a slow boat to China All to myself alone
