Lets take a slow boat to china. leave from south carolina Lets 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 boats go no sail so won't you please hold our mail- For awhile Thanks anyway pal but the suez canal - Ain't our style Lets take a slow boat to china and maybe well 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 Well send a postcard to grandpa of a vase or rickshaw- He don't care Well buy mom a kimono or maybe well just phone her - When were there Well drink sake at night beneath the soft harbor lights- On the bay Well build house on the hill next to shangri-li bill - And well stay Lets take that slow boat to china (Lets go) Slow boat to china (Real slow) Slow boat to china (Lets go) Slow boat to china (Real slow) Lets go real slow
