On A Slow Boat To China

[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 together
All to myself alone.
