(i'd like to get you on a) slow boat to china - dee dee bridgewater lyrics

i’d love to get you on a slow boat to china,
to myself alone,
get you and keep you in my arms ever more.
leave all your lovers, weeping on the far way sh-r-,
out on the briny with a moon big and shiny,
melting your heart of stone,
i’d love to get you on a slow boat to china,
all to myself alone.
