On A Slow Boat To China lyrics

Bette: `Hey, nice piano playin`, Manilla.`
Barry: `Thank you, Miss M.`
Better: `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 yah?`
Barry: `Uh-huh.`
Bette: `Ohhhh!`

Bette & Barry:
I`m gonna get you
(you`re never gonna get me)
On a slow boat to china
(not in a fast or slow boat at any crick)
All to myself alone
(I just get motion sick)
I`m gonna make you mine
(Ha, you`ll have to stand in line!)
Get you and keep you in my band evermore
(now there`s a new attack)
leave all the others on the shore
(For me they`d swim to China, to China and back)

Out on the briny
(I wouldn`t like the ocean)
Where the moon`s big and shiny
(not even in a rowboat)
melting your heart of stone, come on what do yah say?
(Ha, you always get your way)
I`m gonna get you
on a slow boat to China,
all to myself alone, to-ge-ther
All to myself alone
