Subject: Lyr Add: ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA (Homer & Jethro)
Now here's the parody, from the "video" at YouTube:

ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA
As sung by Homer & Jethro

I'd like to get you on a slow boat to China,
All by myself alone.
Your face that only your mother adored.
If you come near me, there's gonna be a girl overboard.
Out on the ocean, if you take a notion
You'd like to be my own,
You take a slow boat and I'll take a rowboat
Back to my home sweet home.

I'd like to put you on a slow boat to China,
All by yourself alone.
You may get seasick, but go anyway,
'Cause you'll make me sick if you miss the boat and you stay.
Out on the briny between here and Chiny,
You may get lost at sea.
Maybe a tanker will throw you an anchor.
If so, will you thank her for me?
