Lyrics

[00:07.020] "Hey, nice piano playin', Manilla."
[00:08.878] "Thank you, miss M."
[00:10.079] "Whatcha doin' these days?"
[00:11.389] "Makin' records."
[00:12.555] "Really?"
[00:13.428] "Yes, really."
[00:14.485] "Do you still play piano for people?"
[00:16.421] "Well, depends on who."
[00:19.803] Hmmm, I'm gonna get you
[00:22.582] On a slow boat to China,
[00:26.936] All to myself alone;
[00:33.548] Get you and keep you in my arms evermore;
[00:40.290] Leave all the others
[00:43.215] Waitin' on a faraway shore.
[00:47.109] Out on the briny
[00:49.555] Where the moon's big and shiny,
[00:53.717] Melting your heart of stone.
[01:00.076] I'm gonna get you
[01:02.822] On a slow boat to China,
[01:07.173] All to myself alone.
[01:11.912] "Bette, I didn't know you felt that way about me."
[01:13.931] "I don't. I need a piano player."
[01:15.952] "Ahh, just like the old days!"
[01:17.130] "You're not gonna change keys on me, are ya?"
[01:18.035] "Unh huh."
[01:19.335] "Ohhh!"
[01:20.130] I'm gonna get you (you're never gonna get me)
[01:23.035] On a slow boat to China (not in a fast or slow boat to any crick)
[01:27.335] All to myself alone (i just get motion sick)
[01:30.911] I'm gonna make you mine.
[01:32.207] Ha, you'll have to stand in line.
[01:34.015] Get you and keep you in my band evermore;
[01:39.673] Now there's a new attack.
[01:40.737] Leave all the others on the shore.
[01:43.725] For me they'd swim to China, to China and back.
[01:47.469] Out on the briny (I wouldn't like the ocean)
[01:49.962] Where the moon's big and shiny (Not even in a rowboat)
[01:54.165] Melting your heart of stone.
[01:57.291] Come on, what do you say?
[01:58.972] Ha ha, you always get your way.
[02:00.769] I'm gonna get you
[02:03.290] On a slow boat to China,
[02:07.528] All to myself alone, to-ge-ther.
[02:14.262] All to myself alone
