Slow Boat To China Lyrics - Aimless Love - John Prine

Let's take a slow boat to China 

Leave from South Carolina 

Let's take our time and go the long way 

On a junk boat to Thailand 

With your hand in mine hand 

We're sure hope we got something to say 

Well, this old boat's go no sail 

So won't you please hold our mail 

For a while 

But thanks anyway pal 

But the Suez Canal 

Ain't our style 

Let's take a slow boat to China 

And maybe we'll find a 

New way to play those same old games

The stars just might show us 

And the Captain will know us 

Shake our hands and call us 

By our first names 

We'll send a postcard to Grandpa 

Of a vase or rickshaw 

He don't care 

We'll buy Mom a Kimono 

Or maybe we'll just phone her 

When we're there 

We'll drink Saki at night 

Beneath the soft harbor lights 

On the bay 

We'll build house on the hill 

Next to Shangrila Bill 

And we'll stay

Let's take that slow boat to China 

(Let's go) 

Slow boat to China 

(Real slow) 

Slow boat to China 

(Let's go) 

Slow boat to China 

(Real slow) 

Let's go real slow 

Let's go real slow 

Let's go real slow 

We get a slow boat to China 

(Let's go) 

Slow boat to China 

(Real slow) 

Slow boat to China 

(Let's go) 

Slow boat to China 

(Real slow) 

Let's go real slow 

Let's go real slow
