Well there's 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 myself alone

To get you to keep you in my arms evermore

Leave all your lovers weeping on the far-away shore



Well out on the briny with a moon big and shiny

Melting your heart of stone

Well I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China

All to myself alone



Well I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China

All to myself alone

On a real slow boat

On a slow slow boat to China
