On A Slow Boat To China Lyrics

Kay Kyser On A Slow Boat To China

There is no verse to this song,
'Cause I don't wanna wait a moment too long
To say that...

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 a far away shore.
Out on the briney
With the moon big and shiney
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.
A twist in the rudder
And a rip in the sail
Drifting and dreaming
Throw the compass over the rail.
Out on the ocean
Far from all the commotion
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you on a Slow Boat to China
All to myself (with nobody else)
Yes, all to myself alone.
