On a Slow Boat to China Lyrics

There is no verse to this song,
'Cause I don't wanna wait a moment too long
To say that...

I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to my self alone.
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore,
Leave all your lovers
Weeping on the faraway shore.
Out on the briny
With that moon big and shinny,
Melting your heart of stone.
Honey, I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to my self alone.

I'd love to get you on a Slow Boat to China
All to myself alone.
A twist in the rudder
And a rip in the sail
Drifting and dreaming
Throw the compass over the rail.
Out on the ocean
Far from all the commotion
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a Slow Boat to China
All to myself with nobody else
Yes, all to myself alone.
