On A Slow Boat To China
Writen By: Frank Loesser
Originally from the 1982 Album Somewhere Over China

Lyrics:

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

Out on the briny
With the moon big and shiny
åŽŸå¸–åœ°å€: Jimmy Buffett Info http://www.buffettinfo.com/boats-beaches-bars-ballads/3891-09-slow-boat-china.html#post4827
Melting your heart of stone
Honey I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China
All by myself alone

INSTRUMENTAL

I'd love to get ya
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
A twist in the rudder
And a rip in the sails
Drifting 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 to myself alone.

Jimmy’s Notes:

These darn songs that take me off to china. I am hooked on the place. I guess Marco Polo started to whole damn thing. One day, I will get there and I hope there is still a slow boat to take me there.
