I'd like 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 big and shinny
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone

Out on the briny with the moon big and shinny
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
On a slow boat to China, all to myself alone
