Lyrics

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 forevermore

Just leave all the others

Waitin' on a faraway shore

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

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 forevermore

Just leave all the others

Waitin' on a faraway shore

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
