Kay Kyser — On a Slow Boat to China

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 a faraway shore 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] 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 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
