Lyrics On a Slowboat to China - Kay Kyser & His Orchestra

On a Slowboat to China

There is 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 to myself, alone
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all your lovers
Weeping on a faraway shore
Out on the briny
With that moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
Honey, I’d love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone
I’d love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself, 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
All to myself
There’s nobody else
Yes, all to myself, alone
