Loesser Frank
on a slow boat to china
There is no verse to this song
âCause I donât want to wait a moment to long
To say
Iâd 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 briny
With the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone.
Iâd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone.
Iâd 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.
Iâd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone.
