On A Slow Boat To China Lyrics - Kay Kyser

I'd love to get you 

on a slow boat to china 

all to my self alone 

Get you and keep you 

in my arms evermore 

Leave all your lovers 

weeping on the far away shores 

Out on the briny 

with e moon big and shiny 

Melting your heart of stone 

I'd love to get you 

on a slow boat to China 

All to my self alone. 

I'd love to get you 

on a slow boat to china 

All to my self 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 

Yes, All to my self alone.
