Subject: RE: Lyr Add: On a Slow Boat to China (and parody)
This is how I remember it from the radio, Jim.

'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,
All to myself alone,
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore,
Leave all your lovers weeping on the faraway shore,
Out on the briny with the moon big and shiny,
I'd melt your heart of stone.
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,
All to myself alone.

Wish you, wish you, wish you were here.
[go up a half-step]
Wish you, wish you, wish you were here.

Out on the briny with the moon big and shiny,
I'd melt your heart of stone.
I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China,
All to myself alone.

This song is fun to sing, and I wish it had another verse, but I guess Frank Loesser had said all he wanted to say.
