I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to myself, alone.

Get you and keep you in my arms evermore.
Leave all your lovers
Weeping on the faraway shore.

Out on the briny
With the moon so big and shiny,
Melting your heart of stone.

I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to myself, alone.

~~~~♫♫♫~~~~

I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to myself, alone.

Get you and keep you in my arms evermore.
Leave all your lovers
Weeping on the faraway shore.

Out on the briny
With the moon so big and shiny,
Melting your heart of stone.

I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to myself, alone.

Where gonna end this letter of song,
I don’t want to wait
A bit too long
To get you all by myself, alone…
