The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'd 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 the far away shore.
Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny
melting your heart of stone.
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,
all to myself, alone.
There is 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 to myself, alone.
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore,
leave all your lovers weeping on the far away shore.
Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny
melting your heart of stone.
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,
all to myself, alone.
