Well there's 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 myself alone
  To get you to keep you in my arms evermore
  Leave all your lovers weeping on the far-away shore
  
  Well out on the briny with a moon big and shiny
  Melting your heart of stone
  Well I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
  All to myself alone
  
  Well I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China
  All to myself alone
  On a real slow boat
  On a slow slow boat to China
