Bette Midler, Barry Manilow - On a Slow Boat to China lyrics
[Bette Midler, Barry Manilow - On a Slow Boat to China lyrics]
Hey, nice piano playin', Manilow
Thank you, Miss M whatcha doin' these days?
Makin' records really?
Yes, really
Do you still play piano for people?
Well, depends on who
Hmm, I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China all to myself alone
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all the others
Waitin' on a faraway shore out on the briny
Where the moon's big and shiny
Meltin' your heart of stone
I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Bette, I didn't know
You felt that way about me
I don't, I need a piano player
Ah, just like the old days
You're not gonna change keys on me are yah?
Uh huh oh
I'm gonna get you
(You're never gonna get me)
On a slow boat to China
(Not in a fast or slow boat at any crick)
All to myself alone (I just get motion sick)
I'm gonna make you mine
(Ha, you'll have to stand in line)
Get you and keep you in my band evermore
(Now there's a new attack)
Leave all the others on the shore
(For me they'd swim to China)
(To China and back) out on the briny
(I wouldn't like the ocean)
Where the moon's big and shiny
(Not even in a rowboat)
Melting your heart of stone
Come on what do yah say?
(You always get your way) i'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone, together
All to myself alone
Thank you, Miss M whatcha doin' these days?
Makin' records really?
Yes, really
Do you still play piano for people?
Well, depends on who
Hmm, I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China all to myself alone
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all the others
Waitin' on a faraway shore out on the briny
Where the moon's big and shiny
Meltin' your heart of stone
I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Bette, I didn't know
You felt that way about me
I don't, I need a piano player
Ah, just like the old days
You're not gonna change keys on me are yah?
Uh huh oh
I'm gonna get you
(You're never gonna get me)
On a slow boat to China
(Not in a fast or slow boat at any crick)
All to myself alone (I just get motion sick)
I'm gonna make you mine
(Ha, you'll have to stand in line)
Get you and keep you in my band evermore
(Now there's a new attack)
Leave all the others on the shore
(For me they'd swim to China)
(To China and back) out on the briny
(I wouldn't like the ocean)
Where the moon's big and shiny
(Not even in a rowboat)
Melting your heart of stone
Come on what do yah say?
(You always get your way) i'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone, together
All to myself alone
