On A Slow Boat To China

{"And now from the Grand Ballroom" "The S.S. Bradley proudly presents Our boy singer Jimmy Boofey" "Take it away Jim"} I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China All to myself alone Get you and keep you in my arms ever more Leave all your lovers weepin' on a far away shore Out on the briny with the moon big and shiny Melting your heart of stone Honey, I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China All by myself alone {"Who's steering the boat?" "Who's steering this boat?" "Waiter, may I get a drink around here, now uh?" "You ever been on a cruise?" "Neither have I"} {"Isn't that a good one?" "Yes, can I see you later, You bet" "Excuse me, I have to go back to the bandstand now"} 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 sails Driftin' and dreamin', honey, throw the compa*s over the rail Out on the ocean, far from all the commotion Melting your heart of stone Honey, I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China All by myself alone {"I have to go now" "Wait, don't leave"} Honey I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China All to myself alone {"You know our last set is at two" "I get off after that" "What you doin'?" "Would you like to take a stroll around the upper deck?" "See you then", "Maybe, oo-hoo"}
