I'd like to get you On a slow boat to China All to myself, alone To get you and keep you In my arms, evermore Leave all your lovers waving on the faraway shore Out on the briny With the moon big and shinny Melting your heart of stone Darling, 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 Oh, just to get you and keep you In my arms forevermore Just leave all your lovers, waving on a faraway shore Out on the briny With the moon big and shinny I'm melting your heart of stone I'd like to get you On a slow boat All to myself All to myself All to myself Alone
