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 wayOn a junk boat to Thailand
With your hand in mine hand
We're sure hope we got something to sayWell, this old boat's go no sail
So won't you please hold our mail
For a whileBut thanks anyway pal
But the Suez Canal
Ain't our styleLet's take a slow boat to China
And maybe we'll find a
New way to play those same old gamesThe stars just might show us
And the Captain will know us
Shake our hands and call us
By our first namesWe'll send a postcard to Grandpa
Of a vase or rickshaw
He don't careWe'll buy Mom a Kimono
Or maybe we'll just phone her
When we're thereWe'll drink Saki at night

Beneath the soft harbor lights
On the bayWe'll build house on the hill
Next to Shangrila Bill
And we'll stayLet'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 slowWe 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
