Jimmy Buffett - On a Slow Boat to China lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - On a Slow Boat to China lyrics]
"And now from the Grand Ballroom
The SS? 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 evermore
Leave all your lovers weepin'
On a faraway 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
"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!" "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
"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"
The SS? 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 evermore
Leave all your lovers weepin'
On a faraway 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
"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!" "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
"You know our last set is at two"
"I get off after that" "What you doin'?"
"Would you like to take a
