On A Slow Boat To China lyrics
(feat. Barry Manilow)

[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, to-ge-ther.
All to myself alone.
