On a Slow Boat to China Lyrics |
||
 On A Slow Boat To China By: Frank Loesser 1948 To Spike Jones and the City Slickers and Darlene Vare -- Spoken: "And now from the Grand Ballroom" "The S.S. ???? proudly presents our boy singer: Jimmy Boofey" "Take it away Jim" I`d love to get you On a slow boat to China All to myself alone Get you and keep you In my arms ever more Leave all your lovers Weepin` on a far away shore (waiter!) Out on the briny With the moon big and shiny Melting your heart of stone Honey I`d love to get you On a slow boat to China All by myself alone -- Spoken: "Who`s steering the boat?" "Who`s steering this boat?" "Waiter!" "May I get a drink around here, now uh...?" "You ever been on a cruise?" "Neither have I!" (instrumental) "...isn`t that a good one?" "Yes, can I see you later, You bet!" "Excuse me, I have to go back to the bandstand now" 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 sails Driftin` and dreamin` Honey throw the compass over the rail Out on the ocean Far from all the commotion Melting your heart of stone Honey I`d love to get you On a slow boat to China All by myself alone (I have to go now) (Wait! Don`t leave!) Honey I`d love to get you On a slow boat to China All to myself alone -- Spoken: "You know our last set is at two" "I get off after that" "What you doin`?" "Would you like to take a stroll around the upper deck?" "See you then" "Maybe, oo-hoo" - Notes: Special Effects: Exotic Productions This album is dedicated to Bill Williams, my old boss, who told me a long time ago that he knew that I knew that I could. Love, J.B. |
