On A Slow Boat To China Lyrics



{"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"}
