On a Slow Boat to China Lyrics

[Intro: Bette Midler and Barry Manilow, spoken]
Hey, nice piano playin', Manilow
Thank you, Miss M
Whatcha doin' these days?
Makin' records
Really?
Yes, really
Do you still play piano for people?
Well, depends on who

[Verse 1: Midler]
Hmm, 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
Out on the briny
Where the moon's
Big and shiny
Meltin' your heart of stone
I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone

[Midler and Manilow, spoken:]
Bette, I didn't know
You felt that way about me
I don't, I need a piano player
Ah, just like the old days
You're not gonna change keys
On me are yah?
Uh huh
Oh

[Verse 2: Midler, Manilow, and Both]
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?
(You always get your way)
I'm gonna get you
On a slow boat to China
All to myself alone, together
All to myself alone
