Slow Boat To China

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

I sure hope we got something to say

Well, this old boat's go no sail so won't you please hold our mail-

For awhile

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 sake at night beneath the soft harbor lights-

On the bay

We'll build house on the hill next to shangri-li 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
