On a Slow Boat to China lyrics

Bette: "Hey, nice piano playin', Manilla."

Barry: "Thank you, Miss M."

Bette: "Whatcha doin' these days?"

Barry: "Makin' records."

Bette: "Really?"

Barry: "Yes, really."

Bette: "Do you still play piano for people?"

Barry: "Well, depends on who."

Bette: Hmmm, 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.

Bette & Barry: Out on the briny

Where the moon's big and shiny,

Melting your heart of stone.

I'm gonna get you

On a slow boat to China,

All to myself alone.

Barry: "Bette, I didn't know you felt that way about me."

Bette: "I don't. I need a piano player."

Barry: "Ahh, just like the old days!"

Bette: "You're not gonna change keys on me, are ya?"

Barry: "Unh Huh."

Bette: "Ohhh!"

Bette: I'm gonna get you

Barry: You're never gonna get me.

Bette: on a slow boat to China

Barry: Not in a fast or slow boat to any crick.

Bette: all to myself alone;

Barry: I just get motion sick

Bette: I'm gonna make you mine.

Barry: Ha, you'll have to stand in line.

Bette: Get you and keep you in my band evermore;

Barry: Now there's a new attack.

Bette: Leave all the others on the shore.

Barry: For me they'd swim to China, to China and back.

Bette: Out on the briny

Barry: I wouldn't like the ocean,

Bette: where the moon's big and shiny,

Barry: not even in a rowboat.

Bette: melting your heart of stone.

Come on, what do you say?

Barry: Ha ha, you always get your way.

Bette & Barry: I'm gonna get you

On a slow boat to China,

All to myself alone, to-ge-ther.

All to myself alone.
