I'd Like To Get You On A Slow - Gloria Wood, Harry Babbiitt

There is no verse

To this song

'Cause I don’t want to wait a moment too long

To say that 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

Weeping on a faraway shore

Out on the briny

With that moon big and shiny

Melting your heart of stone

Honey, 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

A twist in the rudder

And a rip in the sail

Drifting and dreaming

Throw the compass over the rail

Out on the ocean

Far from all the commotion

Melting your heart of stone

I’d love to get you

On a slow boat to China

All to myself

There’s nobody else

Yes, all to myself, alone
