Lyrics On a Slow Boat to China

Hey, nice piano playin' Manilla

Thank you Miss M

Whatcha doin' these days?

Makin' records

Oh, really?

Yes, really

Do you still play piano for people?

Well, depends on who

Hmm

I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

Get you and keep you

In my arms evermore

Leave all the others

Waitin' on a faraway shore

Out on the briny

Where the moon's

Big and shiny

Meltin' your heart of stone

I'm gonna get you

I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China on a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

Bette, I didn't know you felt that way about me

I don't, I need a piano player

Ah, just like the old days

You're not gonna change keys on me are yah?

Uh huh

Oh, I'm gonna get you

You're never gonna get me on a slow boat to China

Not in a fast or slow boat

All to myself alone at any crick

I just get motion sick

I'm gonna make you mine

Ha, you'll have to stand in line

Get you and keep you in my band evermore

Now, there's a new attack

Leave all the others on the shore

For me they'd swim to China to China and back

Out on the briny

I wouldn't like the ocean

Where the moon's big and shiny

Not even in a rowboat

Melting your heart of stone

Come on what do yah say?

Come on

You always get your way

I'm gonna get you

I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China on a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

All to myself alone together together

All to myself

All to myself alone alone
