Bette Midler (Duet With Barry Manilow) - On A Slow Boat To China lyrics
rate me{"Hey, nice piano playin', Manilla"<br />
"Thank you, Miss. M"<br />
"Whatcha doin' these days?"<br />
"Makin' records"<br />
"Really?"<br />
"Yes, really"<br />
"Do you still play piano for people?"<br />
"Well, depends on who"}<br />
<br />
I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China<br />
All to myself alone<br />
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore<br />
Leave all the others waitin' on a faraway shore<br />
<br />
Out on the briny where the moon's big and shiny<br />
Melting your heart of stone<br />
I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China<br />
All to myself alone<br />
<br />
Bette, I didn't know you felt that way about me<br />
I don't, I need a piano player<br />
Ahh, just like the old days<br />
You're not gonna change keys on me, are ya?<br />
Unh, huh<br />
Oh<br />
<br />
I'm gonna get you<br />
(You're never gonna get me)<br />
On a slow boat to China<br />
(Not in a fast or slow boat to any crick)<br />
<br />
All to myself alone<br />
(I just get motion sick)<br />
I'm gonna make you mine<br />
(Ha, you'll have to stand in line)<br />
<br />
Get you and keep you in my band evermore<br />
(Now there's a new attack)<br />
Leave all the others on the shore<br />
(For me they'd swim to China, to China and back)<br />
<br />
Out on the briny<br />
(I wouldn't like the ocean)<br />
Where the moon's big and shiny<br />
(Not even in a rowboat)<br />
<br />
Melting your heart of stone<br />
Come on, what do you say?<br />
(Ha, ha, you always get your way)<br />
<br />
I'm gonna get you on a slow boat to China<br />
All to myself alone, together<br />
All to myself alone
