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


[Instrumental]


I'd love to get ya
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone

A twist in the rudder
And a rip in the sails
Drifting and dreamin'

Honey throw the compass 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 to myself alone.
