bette midler - on a slow boat to china lyrics

(feat. barry manilow)

[bette:] “hey, nice piano playin’, manilla.”
[barry:] “thank you, miss m.”
[bette:] “whatcha doin’ these days?”
[barry:] “makin’ records.”
[bette:] “really?”
[barry:] “yes, really.”
[bette:] “do you still play piano for people?”
[barry:] “well, depends on who.”

[bette:] hmmm, 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 sh-r-.

[bette & barry:] out on the briny
where the moon’s big and shiny,
melting your heart of stone.
i’m gonna get you
on a slow boat to china,
all to myself alone.

[barry:] “bette, i didn’t know you felt that way about me.”
[bette:] “i don’t. i need a piano player.”
[barry:] “ahh, just like the old days!”
[bette:] “you’re not gonna change keys on me, are ya?”
[barry:] “unh huh.”
[bette:] “ohhh!”

[bette:] i’m gonna get you
[barry:] you’re never gonna get me.
[bette:] on a slow boat to china
[barry:] not in a fast or slow boat to any crick.
[bette:] all to myself alone;
[barry:] i just get motion sick
[bette:] i’m gonna make you mine.
[barry:] ha, you’ll have to stand in line.
[bette:] get you and keep you in my band evermore;
[barry:] now there’s a new attack.
[bette:] leave all the others on the sh-r-.
[barry:] for me they’d swim to china, to china and back.

[bette:] out on the briny
[barry:] i wouldn’t like the ocean,
[bette:] where the moon’s big and shiny,
[barry:] not even in a rowboat.
[bette:] melting your heart of stone.
come on, what do you say?
[barry:] ha ha, you always get your way.
[bette & barry:] i’m gonna get you
on a slow boat to china,
all to myself alone, to-ge-ther.
all to myself alone.
