[Intro: Harry Babbitt]
There is no verse to this song
'Cause I don't wanna wait a moment too long
To say that

[Verse 1: Harry Babbitt]
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 a faraway shore

[Verse 2: Harry Babbitt]
Out on the briny
With that moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
Honey, I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Gloria Wood]
I'd 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
[Verse 4: Gloria Wood]
Out on the ocean
Far from all the commotion
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself, there's nobody else
Yes, all to myself, alone
