(I’d Like to Get You on a) Slow Boat to China Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

Thank you

I′d love to get you on a slow boat to China
All by 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 a moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone


I'd like to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself, alone (play pretty for the people)
All to myself alone
(I hear you, Harvey)
Leave all your lovelies
Weeping on the faraway shore

Out on the briny with a moon big and shiny
Melting your heart of stone

I′d like to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself, all to myself
All to myself, alone
Thank you, thank you
