| Found my passport
|
| Found a friend to take the cat
|
| And a kid with too much money
|
| Who wants to renovate my flat
|
| 'Cause I’m leaving
|
| On a slow boat to China
|
| I’m doing the China tour
|
| There was this guy I met
|
| He had a birthmark on his knee
|
| But he had more respect for Nixon
|
| Than he had for me
|
| So come tomorrow
|
| I’m on that slow boat to China
|
| I’m doing the China cure
|
| I’ll be walking
|
| On that great wall mighty soon
|
| Where the emperor and his armies
|
| Stood their ground
|
| And the river
|
| Where the poet kissed the moon
|
| And drowned
|
| Once I get thre
|
| It’s an even mony bet
|
| That I’ll only brood the harder
|
| On what I’m trying to forget
|
| Still I’m leaving
|
| On that slow boat to China
|
| I’m doing the China tour
|
| I’m taking that Chinese cure |
