Slow Boat To China Lyrics

Let's take a slow boat to China

Leave from South Carolina

Let's take our time and go the long way

On a junk boat to Thailand

With your hand in mine hand

We're sure hope we got something to say

Well, this old boat's go no sail

So won't you please hold our mail

For a while

But thanks anyway pal

But the Suez Canal

Ain't our style

Let's take a slow boat to China

And maybe we'll find a

New way to play those same old games

The stars just might show us

And the Captain will know us

Shake our hands and call us

By our first names

We'll send a postcard to Grandpa

Of a vase or rickshaw

He don't care

We'll buy Mom a Kimono

Or maybe we'll just phone her

When we're there

We'll drink Saki at night

Beneath the soft harbor lights

On the bay

We'll build house on the hill

Next to Shangrila Bill

And we'll stay

Let's take that slow boat to China

(Let's go)

Slow boat to China

(Real slow)

Slow boat to China

(Let's go)

Slow boat to China

(Real slow)

Let's go real slow

Let's go real slow

Let's go real slow

We get a slow boat to China

(Let's go)

Slow boat to China

(Real slow)

Slow boat to China

(Let's go)

Slow boat to China

(Real slow)

Let's go real slow

Let's go real slow
