Slow Boat to China Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass

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 lovelies weeping on the faraway shore

Out on the briny with the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone
I'd love to get you
I′d love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone

I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone

I'm gonna get you and keep you in my arms forever more
Leave all your lovelies just weeping on the faraway shore
Out on the briny with the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone


I′d love to get you on a slow boat
On a slow boat to China
All to myself
All alone

I′d love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Yes, get you and keep you in my arms forever more
Leave all your lovelies weeping on the faraway shore
Out on the briny with the moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone

You know I'd love to get you
I′d love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself
All to myself
On a slow boat
Slow boat to China
Slow boat to China
Slow boat to China
