Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hmm, I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all the others
Waitin' on a faraway shore
[Verse 2]
Out on the briny
Where the moon's big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China (You're never gonna get me)
All to myself, alone (Not in a fast or slow boat to any crick)
(I just get motion sick)
I'm gonna make you mine
Ha, you'll have to stand in line
Get you and keep you in my band evermore (Now there's a new attack)
Leave all the others on the shore
(For me they'd swim to China, to China and back)
[Verse 4]
Out on the briny
Where the moon's big and shiny (I wouldn't like the ocean)
Melting your heart of stone (Not even in a rowboat)
Melting your heart of stone
Come on, what do you say?
You always get your way
I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone together
All to myself, alone
