Lyrics:

featuring Carol Welsman

Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser



I'd like to get you

On a slow boat to China,

All to myself alone.

To get you and keep you in my arms evermore,

Leave all your lovers

Weeping on the faraway shore.

Out on the briny

With the moon big and shinny,

Melting your heart of stone.

Darling, I'd love to get you

On a slow boat to China,

All to myself alone.
