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
