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 far-away 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
