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 ever more Leave all your lovers Weepin' on a faraway shore. Out on the briney, With that moon big and shiney Melting your heart of stone Honey, 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 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 There's nobody else Yes, all to myself alone
