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"

long time ago that he knew that I knew that I could. Love, J.B.
