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
