I'd like to get you

On a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

To get you and keep you in my arms evermore

Leave all your lovers weepin' on the faraway shore

Out on the briny with the moon big and shinny

I'm melting your heart of stone

Darling I'd like to get you

On a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

I'd like to get you

On a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

Oh just to get you and keep you in my arms for evermore

Just leave all your lovers weepin' on the faraway shore

Out on the briny with the moon big and shinny

I'm melting your heart of stone

And darling I'd like to get you

On a slow boat

All to myself

All to myself

All to myself alone
