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
Leaving all your lovely
Weeping on the faraway shore
Out on the briny
With, with a moon big and shiny
I'm melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
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
Leaving all your lovely
Weeping on the faraway shore
Out on the briny
With a moon big and shiny
I'm melting your heart of stone (go fast, let's make it go slow)
I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Yeah, uh
