Well, there's no verse to this song
'Cause I don't want to wait a moment too long
To say that I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All myself alone
To get you to keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all your lovers weeping on the faraway shore
Well, out on the briny with a moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
Well, I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Well, I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
On a real slow boat
On a slow slow boat to china
