Letra On A Slow Boat To China de Bette Midler original

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 shore.

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 shore.
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.
