On a Slow Boat to China (1948) lyrics, by Frank Loesser, performed in Neptune’s Daughter
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 all alone.
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore,
Leave all your lovers
Weepin’ on the far away shore.
Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny,
Melting your heart of stone,
I’d love to get you on a slow boat to China,
All to myself alone
