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
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
Let's go Real Slow
Let's go Real Slow
Let's take that slow boat to China (Let's go)
Slow boat to China (Real Slow)
Slow boat to China (Let's go)

The dark and distant drumming
The pounding of the hooves
The silence of everything that moves
Late at night you'll see them
Decked out in shiny jewels...
Where the blue of the night
Meets the gold of the day
Someone waits for me
And the gold of her hair
Crowns the blue of her eyes
Like a halo, tenderly

We had an apartment in the city,
Me and Loretta liked living there.
Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown,...
Love gives, love takes
It takes a lot of lucky breaks
Lucky strikes, lucky stars
I don't know how I got this far
Who knows where it's coming from

I'm awfully tired of the same old business
Kiss the babies, make 'em cry
I'm only lookin' for one good woman
Stick a needle in my eye, eye, eye

I don't want to be the kind to hesitate
Be too shy, wait to late
I don't care what they say other lovers do
I just want to dance with you
I got a feel...

I knew a girl who was almost a lady
She had a way with all the men in her life
Every inch of her blossomed in beaut...
I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were thunder lightning was desire
This old house would...
What you doing out there?
Why it's dark as a dungeon way up in the air
Come gather round me you little monkeys and a story i'll tell
Way back in 1953....
